How Much Should The Surgery Cost?



Recommended Posts

I am getting mine in mexico, how much should it cost by itself? Of course it depends on the doctor but what is the average range in dlls?

This is a really hard question to answer. The surgeons each have their own fee.

Find out what it covers when researching which surgeon you want to do your surgery.

Do you want to be in a hospital, in case of complications? Some surgeons send you to a recovery house, which is not a hospital.

I'm having mine in Fort Worth Tx. Cost for everything, surgeon, hospital stay, pre op, post op, nutritionist, anesthesiology, entire package $13,800. I don't know if that is high or low but what I've searched it's an average price. In Mexico I've researched $4,000 to $8,000. I hope this helped. Good Luck

Dr. Aceves charges 8750 which includes everything, other than airfare. They pick you up at the airport, take you for all your preop tests, take you to the beautiful hotel and pick you up in the morning for surgery. You're hospitlized for 3 days then picked up and returned to the airport.

I'm also doing mine in Mexico... $7500, plus plane and hotel for the first 2 days before I go into the hospitl... so an extra $1000 for that. Plus, with an extra 2 days, I get to do some site seeing before the surgery.

Definitely worth it. If I had tried to have the surgery here, I'd never be able to have the surgery. The insurance God's deamed that to be so.

My health is a whole lot more important than a denial from my insurance, so BLLLAAAAHHH on the insurance companies out there that don't get it.

I had surgery with Dr Kelly in Tijuana MX on May 10th this year. It cost $5500 plus airfare.

That included 2 nights in the hospital, then 2 nights in the hotel Lucerna. Had a great time & no complications!

      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.
