cost of lap band

I Am From Toronto Canada And I Am Wondering What It Would Cost To Have This Procedure Done In New York, Buffalo Ect.?
It Costs 16,000 Here And I Would Love To Have It Done But I Do Not Know How I Would Be Able To Afford It.

Totally depends on what each surgeon charges. In my area (SE Michigan) I've seen $19,000 packages and $12,900 packages within an hour's drive. Believe it or not, the $12,900 surgeon is one of the more experienced around here. You may wish to yahoo or google "Lap Band" and "NY surgeons" and check their sites for costs.

Maybe look through the threads in the New York forum?

Welcome Morganmom. Have you considered Mexico? I paid about $7000 plus another $650 for the flight. I get my fills done up here in Vancouver.
I suggest spending some time in the Doctors and Hospitals threads. You might find what you need.

All the best and good luck with your decision.
