Lap Band Cash Price

Hello, I live in Texas and have tried unsuccessfully for the last 8 months to get insurance approval from Blue Cross Blue Shield TRS of Texas to have the gastric lap band surgery. In Texas the cash price for hospital and doctor it is $10,300, and I'm am curious as to what the cost is in Oklahoma and Arkansas. Anybody have any idea? I appreciate the help. -Kristi

I just paid $17,500 in OKC (self-pay). The price you quoted sounds fabulous.

I understand your pain. I am self employed and have no insurance and I am going to pay for the surgey myself at $15,00. The first Dr. I talked to was $17,000. If you are intersted I am financing thru capital-one, but wells-fargo and bank =one also fincance. Good luck
