cost/scars
Hi Alex,
I am in Washington State and had to pay for surgery myself too. I looked into all the procedures out there. I went to a seminar offered by the surgeon that ended up doing my surgery and that is where I found out about the VSG.
My surgeon offered the VSG at the same price he does a lapband, 17,000.00. I figured with the lapband, I would have costs with the fills so I looked more into the VSG. I have 5 scars, all are very small with the largest about 1 1/2 inches long, none are in the belly button. They all have healed very nicely.
He has 1 year monthly follow-up care included with the cost. I am very pleased with him and his staff and would do it all over again! Good luck with your research and best wishes to you once you make your decision.
