I'm just wondering about how much each doctor charges for the surgery? I've gotten a few quotes, but would like to hear what others have paid. Thanks! :)

Dr. Kelly is $5500. I think it is $6000 if your BMI is over 50.

My surgery date isn't until 8/31 but Dr Aceves charges $8750 for everything except airfare to San Diego. He's in Mexicali.

How far away is Mexicali from San Diego?

2 hours it is VERY EAST of San Diego, maybe you should consider a different CLOSER doctor. Mines is like 10 mins away from the San Diego/Mexico border.

I'm either using Dr. Kelly or Dr. Ponce de Leon.. I was originally quoted $5500 by both surgeons.. however I got a phone call this morning from a woman named Laurie who told me that she is currently booking VSG for dr. Ponce de leon for only $4600.. includes everything except airfare.. I'm thoroughly confused now and actually started a new topic on here to see if anyone has any info on her LOL if she is for real then I am going to book for September 14th in TJ with Dr. Ponce! :D

My doctor does it for 4k with everything minus airfare, i was in a private hospital and i am usually on gastricsleeve.com and i posted photos of my stay i was even blogging right after surgery. So it's just something to consider. You should check him out he is 5-10mins from the San Diego border in TJ. Drsergioquinones.com

I can really recommend Dr Kelly, it was $5500, no deposit needed and very close to San Diego border.

I didn't even have any pain after surgery, didn't take one pain killer! Amazing & actually fun experience!

When I read this regarding Dr. Ponce's price I was ticked as I just paid 5500.00 so I called and have been told that this Lori person has not been authorized by Dr. Ponce to offer this price. We will know more tomorrow as he will be speaking to her.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
