Any Self Pays Here Who Had Vsg Done In Pa Or Ohio Area?



Recommended Posts

I have been researching Dr's in Mexico and nervous about goin out of the country. Any one self pay in the Pennsylvania or Ohio area. Who was your Dr. and how much did you pay? I did contact a surgeons office 2 hours from me in Erie PA. I thought the price was quite high at 15,000. I am not sure he does that many VSG'S as rny and lapband are quite popular in my area. Thanks for your help and time.

My fiance is getting ready to have VSG in Cincinnati. The self pay total is $15,300 but the surgeon is very experienced. He did my surgery and I've no problems at all.

In the DFW area here in Texas, the self pay price for the Dr that is going to do my surgery is $10950. I know several that use this DR and everyone seems to like him really well. I have to do the 6 month pre diet, so haven't had the surgery yet. However, I am about a 2.5 hr drive to the DR office, so everything has been over the phone and via internet so far. http://www.mybariatricsolutions.com/

I live 30 min. from Cincy and I went to Dr. Almanza in TJ Mexico. It was a single flight and I did very well. Best wishes.

SHOPPINGBEEMOM, thanks. I am considering Dr. Garcia. I feel I am making the right decision by going to Mexico. Still a little nervous but I would be if I did it in the us too.

I had VSG in Mexico with Dr. Rodriguez. It is the best thing I ever decided to do. The cost is about $8000 and the hospital was safe and very clean. It is actually used by the US Embassy.

Hello there! I am also in the philly area, and I was wondering if you had your surgery yet? What did you decide to do? Mexico or the U.S., and if you went with the U.S., who did you use? I, myself, have decided to have the sleeve surgery, and am trying to find someone.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
