Self-Pay Sleevers

$8750 for Dr Aceves in mx. I paid for airfare. I was well taken care of. It included 1 hotel night and then 3 nights in the hospital.

I had my surgery in Texas. $10500 was my quoted price that included up to two days in the hospital. However I had a hiatal hernia repair at the same time so the surgeon used my insurance for that portion. My total out of pocket was $7200 and it was worth every dime. :-)

$12,000 cash. It would have been $14,000 if I financed it. Houston, TX area. This includes a year of follow ups, nutritionist, etc. I did my pre-op testing on my health insurance.

I've had a couple of small bills pop up since then (pregnancy test, leak test X-ray reading charge, surgical path), but had them try running it through my insurance and so far they've paid everything but the $11 pregnancy test. At least I'm getting them to cover something for the crazy premiums I pay!

I live in Weston FL - I paid 18900 for all inclusive pre-op / surgery / hospital / post -op for a year. 2k for Bliss insurance. I also had a hiatal Hernia and Gall Bladder removed along with my sleeve and this was included in the price. I had my surgery at the Cleveland Clinic and the care was awesome. I have no complaints and was worth evey penny. My husband had the same surgery and went through our insurance and the bill was 47K. I think I got a good deal.
