lap band private pay

Did anyone private pay for lap band and if so what was total costs?

Hi Jill, it depends. Every hospital has their own private pay arrangement. Call the hospital that you are interested in having your surgery at and they can help you. Also the surgeon's office may also give you information. Mona

Jill, We have 2 options in Lincoln, Ne. One is at the Ne Surg Center for $14,000 and the other is $16,000 at the hospital (St. E) These include surgeon fee's and 6-12 months of fills. I work with the program so you can call me if you need further info. Depending on your needs these prices could fluctuate a bit, but this is ballpark range. Good Luck, Shelly

Shelly, thanks for the information. My loan was denied today. So I guess it's back to square one. This whole process with insurance denials and waiting for 4 years is so heart breaking. I can't understend why there is not help out there for people. Thanks again

Hi Shelly, I just had my first fill at the surgery center and they told me only that one was free, the next would be $150. I haven't spoken with Lisa yet, but I thought that 2 were free. Is the 6-12 months of free fills if they are not done with fluoro?
