| Q. | Hi can someone in the local area of Phoenix Arizona let me know how much did the Lap Band surgery cost? | Related Search:
Diet & Fitness | | | Also could someone anywhere in detail please let me know their experience with the Lap Band procedure?
| | A. | The Lap-Band system is the least invasive of all weight loss surgeries. The system includes an adjustable silicon elastic band that is surgically placed around the stomach. The band induces weight loss by restricting food intake; when eating less, your body draws from its own fat to get the energy it needs. The cost can vary from place to place, I don't know how much, sorry.

I live in Charleston SC btw... i dont know if anyone knows any local info as well.
| | A. | The cost varies from $8000. and up. You are NOT on bed rest. You get up and walk at the hospital and you continue to walk as much as possible after you get home. My PCP's nurse had it on Friday and was back to work on Monday. I had it on Wednesday 4-16-08 and since I didn't take pain meds you can drive asap. Yes, you do get tired but that is normal. You rest when you need to.
