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.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
