I have heard so many good things about Dr. David Coster from Grinnell, IA. I am having my consult October 4th. I am going to be self pay and was told to expect it to run around $19,000 for everything. If you have any further questions, email me at [email protected]

My doctor, David Coster in Grinnell, Iowa takes self-pay. My insurance paid, and my total bill was about $16,000 (this included gallbladder removal too!) Check out the Iowa folks under "peers." Many have gone to Dr. Coster and loved him!

Dr. Coster has done more bariatric surgeries than anyone else in the world. Literally. He is quite probably the best in the world. The other Dr.s at Grinnell Regional are also very good at it. I believe Dr. Sundberg has actually had the surgery himself. http://www.grinnellsurgeons.com/surgeons.htm is their website, if you are interested.
