Hi,

I think it varies depending on the month and how early in advance you book, mine is $4500 including the $500 deposit which I paid 2 months in advance, the earliest you can book is 2 months in advance.

Who told you that you have to book 2 months in advanced?

I'm paying 4700 for Dr Garcia, but I booked a bit ago. I heard it was 4500 recently. 500 deposit within two weeks of booking. Then 500 two weeks before with the rest you can pay with a cashiers check when you arrive.

Also, I didn't have to book two months in advance, I did it because it was the only time i could get off work.

Sorry I guess that came out wrong, what I meant was the earliest you can book is two months earlier, well that's I was told through alighter me anyways? They said that the didn't know what the fees etc would be before then.

Your coordinator can tell you everything you need to know. We used Alma at Ready 4 a Change. We paid $4,500 and put down a $1,000 deposit and the balance in a cashier check when we checked into the hospital. The deposit reserved the date. I've heard you can give as little as $500 deposit.

The payment arrangements likely vary for each group of coordinators. I know some price differences vary between different coordinators. I've heard lots of good things about Alma, but not til after I already scheduled my surgery. All the best to you!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
