Need Recommendation Finding An Affordable Doctor In US(VSG)



Recommended Posts

Hi people! I am very new to this site and I find it really helpful to me. So I am a foreign student and I have been to America for few years. I decided to have the Gastric Sleeve Surgery months ago and I have started saving money for the surgery ever since. I live in socal area and I have been calling some doctors. All of them qouted from 18000-20000. It's a huge amount of money for me. I am determined to have the surgery but before that I'd love to hear your stories and experiences and how much did you spend etc... While price is definately one of my major concerns, I am not planning on doing it in Mexico. I am not judging or anything, it's just a risk that I am not willing to take.

There's a large list floating around if you use the search box.

I paid $9600 in Louisiana.

I paid $11K for Dr. Thomas Umbach in Las Vegas. (In comparison to my local hospital that charges $30K)

      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.
