Arizona's Premier LAP BAND specialist
Arizona LAP-BAND
This is Greg, our front office manager, and LAP-BAND patient. Greg is the first person you meet on your journey. "Before surgery I was taking medicine for diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol. I had been recently diagnosed with sleep apnea and the insurance company didn't think I "qualified" for the band, even though I met every criteria. Getting the band was the best decision I ever made. It also fixed by reflux!" |

There is no greater investment that you can make than in yourself. The band costs less than most new cars, but how many hours a day do you spend in your car? How many hours a day do you spend in your body? As you can see from Greg's experience, insurance companies will not always cover the band. In five years, after paying for a car, what do you have left? Not a new car. There are a number of financing programs available for the band, and imagine if you purchased a band. But not only does the price include the band, but the best aftercare in the country a full 13 months that includes all office visits and adjustments made in the office (over $1200 value).

We have worked with two facilities that have performed more LAP-BANDS than any hospitals in Phoenix, or all of Arizona. A number of insurance companies do cover the LAP-BAND, but it is important that you call and find out. For this we have assembled some information that you can use to assit you in determining if your insurance will cover. For that information |
This is Kristin, a mom who just couldn't get the weight off after her child. "I was afraid that I wasn't going to be able to keep up with my kids. The band brought me back in time, now I can not only keep up with my kids, my husband, and the dogs, but I have energy to spare. This was the best decision I made in my life -- and I came from Oregon just to have Dr. Simpson take care of me." |
