Your exact quote

What affects your Lap-Band quote

Removal or revision

Removal alone and conversion to a sleeve or bypass are different operations, priced separately.

Your band history

When and where your band was placed, and whether laparoscopically or with open surgery.

Your stomach

Erosion, slippage or other damage that needs repair can change the plan and the price.

Your travel

Flights, travel documents and food for your companion are not included.

The ongoing cost of a band

Costs Lap-Band patients often don’t expect

A band needs regular adjustments (fills), and many bands eventually need to be removed. A gastric sleeve, by contrast, is a one-time cost with no adjustments. The average cost of a Lap-Band placement in the US has been about $18,000, not including dietitian visits, supplements or the cost of treating complications.

“From pick up at the airport to drop off at our hotel in San Diego, this was a picture perfect functioning operation. X-ray, onto the blood work, seeing the internist plus Dr. Perez and then into the surgery room. The staff were all very professional and kind.”

“I arrived a day early because of flight times and stayed in San Diego Old Town. I was picked up the morning of my surgery. Once I got there I filled out a few papers, then was taken to do blood work and a chest x-ray, and spoke with the doctors before surgery.”

“I was not nervous at all from all the good pre-op information and care at home I had received. Our transportation was on point. Crossing the border was not scary at all or time-consuming. Pre-op testing goes fast and great lab techs.”
