The cost of a belt lipectomy....

I had a panniculectomy 10/27/03. Insurance paid for it. I have still a lot of excess skin and my PS surgeon said that after a few months, when the skin settled a little bit, that we would see about doing some more work. Well I went last week for my check up and to discuss the possibilities of doing some more work. He told me that I was very lucky that not too long after my panniculectomy, that insurance companies stopped paying for it. So he went over the procedure of the belt lipectomy with me. He said that I would have to pay out of pocket for it because insurance doesn't cover it. He said the surgery will be a little cheaper for me than normal because he took care of most of the work when he did my belt lipectomy. So I was just curious to those who have paid for this surgery, or have thought about it, what kind of price range where you quoted? Thank you!
