I have been seeing threads about costs here.. So I thought I'd share some insights.

If your main concern for your lap band surgery or any other surgeries actually, first thing to do is to ask your insurance company of the possibilities on how your surgery can be covered or paid by them.

In any case that your insurance company will not cover your surgery most patients choose to travel abroad for a more affordable weight loss surgery. Without insurance, wls will be very costly in the US. But weight loss surgery in Argentina, Mexico, Costa Rica, or any other countries, will cost up to 70% lower than in the US. There are medical tourism companies that can guide you in finding the best surgeon abroad and can arrange your medical trip at an affordable price.

I hope this little piece of information can help.
