Healthcare can be expensive. Whether it’s the little co pays and prescription costs that add up over time, or the big one-time surgery fees like what you pay for Lap-Band® surgery, one thing is for certain - you cannot put a price tag on your health. Dr. Kuri has been performing the Lap-Band® procedure for over 11 years, giving patients the tool they need to improve the quality of their lives. The favorite part of his job is hearing from his patients as they are losing the weight, reducing the effects of their co-morbidities (diabetes, sleep apnea, hyper tension), and living their lives more fully than they have in years.
Cost-Benefit of having Lap-Band® Surgery
In making any financial decision, it is imperative that we consider the costs vs. the benefits of our purchase. Part of that analysis is looking at what costs will you be cutting as a result of being banded – Here are a few examples:
You’re not hungry all the time – no more need for fast food runs and big grocery bills, the band tells you you’re full faster yet allows you to eat the portion sizes that are healthy for you.
Lose the weight and keep it off with only one product – No more diet pills, diet drinks, expensive diet food programs. There’s no need to “diet” with the Lap-Band®. You can eat what you’d like, though you only require a fraction of the portion size.
Remove the need to shop at oversized clothing stores – find everything you need without paying the outrageous fees associated with plus sizes.
Doctor Visit Co pays and Fees – the LapBand severely reduces the significance of many major co-morbidities associated with obesity, and in some cases removes their threat altogether. Co-morbidities that have been proven to be reduced with the Lap-Band® include: diabetes, hypertension (heart issues), sleep apnea, and joint concerns.
Prescription Costs – many patients see a significant reduction in the medications their obesity require them to take. Remove the excess weight, and remove the need for excessive medications.
Benefits of having Lap-Band® Surgery
