Lap band Self pays in ohio, how much???

WLS is an exclusion, I really dont have the strenght or patience to appeal or hire an attorney and still possibly be denied. So I want to know from the lap band self pays how much total you paid and how long it gave you of treatment (fills, check ups, ect). THANKS!!! Tiffany

call Dr. Curry at Deaconess, he has the best self-pay rates around. PLUS he's a fantastic Dr and person. His office staff is the best also. Dr. Trace Curry Call 513.559.2545 http://www.newyourealyou.com/ hugs,

I would also recommend Dr. Curry. I was lucky enough to meet with four surgeons prior to my surgery and chose Dr. C. because A.) He was the only doc *****ally seemed to advocate the band, which is SO SO important... if docs don't LIKE the band, you won't get the aftercare you need. B.) His patients love him - and finally, to answer your question... C.) His surgery costs were lower than most others. I believe it's $16,500... someone correct me if I am wrong. Good luck! By the way, a bunch of the Cincinnati area bandsters are meeting for lunch on Sunday Sept 25, you should join us!

I also recommend Dr. Curry. I got mine before the prices went up so I can't help you there. You do get a year's worth of followup. He is really easy to get into for fills. Some doc's schedule their fills like 3 months apart. Dr. C will give them to you 2 weeks apart if you need them. Whoever you decide on, be sure to check out their aftercare. That's the most important ingredient for success with the lapband. The lapband forum on this site is a good start. Cathy P PS Hope to see you at our lunch

FYI: Our self pay rate is still at 14,500.00 with one year of band fills. I think that is very competative if not the lowest rate around. Sincerely Dr. Selwyn UC Center for Surgical Weight Loss
