8500 upfront and looks like maybe another 300 ish for some labs etc.. I had mine done in Laredo Tx, Live in austin. It was about 6000 cheaper there than here. My Dr and the experience was excellent.

$10295 included surgeon, hospital up to 2 nights, anesthesia, supplies, and unlimited doctor, nutritionist, and exercise consults for 2 years after surgery. For pre-op, I had to pay my normal insurance copay for doctor visits (even though my insurance didn't cover them), $20 for monthly nutritionist consults, and $15 for monthly exercise consults. My insurance did cover labs and I had to pay $50 for my EKG.

I had my surgery at Weight Wise in Edmond, OK. Two hour drive from where I live, but the cost was worth it.

Wow, this is pretty cheap.....My insurance was billed $49,000 just for the hospital stay of 2 nights with no complications. :)

I asked my doc in Michigan in case I got denied. $16,000, assuming insurance covered the pre-op testing.

      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.
