Hi Perth 62. Im getting my band out and the sleeve done at the same time (hopefully there will be no complications so it can happen in the same surgery) and my Dr is the one that put the band in and isnt charging to take it out. All I have to pay is for the charge of the sleeve.

Heya Perth... rule of thumb is if you use the same surgeon who put it in it will be done for near bulk billed. Going to another surgeon will see you paying full price. However having said that if you were getting the sleeve done by the same doctor who is doing your sleeve he may do it at a reduced cost.

My advice would be to choose a reputable doctor with a good and safe track record and one you can trust rather than looking for a bargain basement knife man.

If you can, I would return to my band doc for removal and sleeve unless there is very good reason not too.

Hi, I am new to this forum and I have a question I hope someone out there can help with. I have had a lap band for 2 years and have really reached the end of my tether with. My question is 'can I find a surgeon who will remove the band without paying a small fortune'? I do realise there will be costs incurred but I just wondered if anyone knew of a surgeon who does a reasonable cost? I do have private health cover with HBF but really don't want to pay a massive gap cost. I would be very grateful for any info anyone may have. Thanks :)
