Is Self Pay Worth It? Austin, Tx Area

[Blondie638 98]

I'm still waiting to hear if I'm approved with my insurance. I don't believe e paperwork has even started yet. I haven't even met with my surgeon (only my primary care physician). But do u guys feel that self pay is worth it? If I don't get approved I may just do self pay. I won't be going to Mexico tho. My friends brother went to Mexico for dental work a few years ago and never came home. To this day no ones heard from him :/.

It'd prob be like 15 k? I'm in the Austin area

I did self pay on December 2010 and also for my daughter in July of 2011 and I would do it again in a heartbeat...I spent we'll over the amount on fad diets and such with no where near the results....was the best investment I ever made...

So sorry about your friends brother =( I have heard horror stories about Mexico as well as wonderful stories so Basically it's a choice and a risk. Well I'm a self pay and I been banded well tomorrow will be 2 months up to date Ihave absolutely no regrets what so ever! =) If you are in Austin If I may make a suggestion you can consider commin gto Dallas and gettin gbanded here and just look for another doctor for the fills and follow ups unless of course your are able to come for all your visits. My Surgery was 10k well a little less with Dr. NIck Nickcolson. He is a top Doctor you can do your own reserch and he treats me like a person not a number.

Worth every penny. I was self pay and I would do it again. Don't let the insurance tell you how to take care of you!

I'm self pay having my surgery in Houston True Results I live in Louisiana. It's 9900, it's a lot but once u think about the money spent on diets n girdles and money on clothes when u gain or when you lose for a short period of time. Well worth it!!!!!!!

Mine was 10k in Tampa but then the hospital offered a reduction if i PAid it early so it ended up at $7250. It was worth every penny. And would have been even if Ended up paying the 10k....but that's just my opinion

Ouch! Just take a deep breath and ignore. I don't think he stopped to realize this is a person that people care about who is missing.

Thanks again!
