| Self-Pay in Hampton Roads area.
Hello. I live in the Hampton Roads part of Virginia and I have decided to pay out of pocket for LAP-BAND® surgery as my insurance will not pay. Any information would be helpful for the total cost of the surgery preferably in the state of Virginia. Thank you.

Just a thought. I flew from NC to Denver to have Dr. Kirshenbaum do my surgery. It was less than $10,000 and I only had to go to Denver once. No pesky psych evaluations and nonsense like that. He is fantastic too.

I go to the wlsc of hampton roads and had surgery on June 25th. You pay a $750 program fee, and my surgery was $18,400, including the hospital and all care there as an outpatient.

Good Morning, I was self pay too. I paid $16,750, (I think that's what it was, it's been almost 4 years), which included overnight hospital stay and a year of fills..withOUT flouro. All fills by WLSHR is now done under flouro. Now the surgery is done as an outpatient.
Did I mention, I love my band :).

So if it is now outpatient, meaning no overnight, wouldn't it be a little bit cheaper?? I am waiting to love my band! :)

LOL, you'd THINK SO, that it would be cheaper, but not according to Donna.
Keep us informed, and best of luck to you.
