920amy 409 Posted January 9, 2014 Were any of you self-pay? If so, how much for VSG? Yes, I was self pay. I am a Mexico sleever. I used alighterme.com, my sleeve only cost $4,700. That included a 3 day hospital stay, 4 days at the Marriott in Tijuana, and all the broth and popsicles my heart desired!! I'd love to tell you more if you're interested. Just PM me! A side note, I had previously looked into using Dr. Monash out of Tucson, was seeing him went through the whole process and my husband's insurance changed. If I would have gone self pay with him, it would have been 21k. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mistysj 1,940 Posted January 9, 2014 There is an existing thread for Arizona Sleevers just a few threads down the page at http://www.bariatricpal.com/topic/263298-any-az-sleevers/. Would you like to merge this one with that one? 1 maggyluv reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am looking into tourism but domestically only, my family has unilaterally rejected Mexico (or any non-US location). I lived in Prescott for almost 9 years and have family there and in the Phoenix area. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gia24 85 Posted January 10, 2014 Are any of you on Facebook? I created a page for westcoast wls people, since I get on here infrequently since the new change. I am in a few groups on fb for support but there seems to be a lot of drama so I wanted to create my own group. Originally I wanted it strictly for AZ people but I didn't know a lot of AZ people so expanded it to include the west coast, so that we can find locally people in our area and meet people going through the same things we are, I'm looking for new friends who've had WLS and who can identify with my journey, since a lot of my non wls friends either don't know, or don't understand what I'm going through. I'd like to get a workout buddy too, to help encourage each other to reach our goals and figured there might be others out there looking to do the same. If your interested let me know, I'd be happy to send an invite! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
