I'm getting sleeved on Dec. 20th with Dr. Alejandro Lopez in Mexico and the cost is $4600 not including airlines. I did a lot of research and he has nothing but great reviews. He's with Specialized Bariatrics.

@@bams1220 yes I've heard nothing but good things about Dr Alejandro Lopez and his wife too :) they are a little cheaper than Dr Gustavo Yanez too. I may change my mind and go with him because he specializes in the SIL Sleeve Surgery.

Wow! Thank you for telling this information @@VGB :-) I just filled out the information on the website to know more. Are you really paying $3499 for the surgery? Why so cheap in the United states? I pray I can get it this cheap there also. Thank you and GOD BLESS YOU VGB :)

Hi bams1220 :) I'm so sorry I'm replying back so late. I've been working alot to save up enough money to have my gastric sleeve surgery done. I haven't decided yet. I may just go to Doctor Thomas Borland In New Iberia Louisiana or in Texas. What about you? I'm scared to go at it all along. I'm also scared to lose all of my long hair. I won't look good bold.

I am self-paying $3499 in Dallas, Tx. Dr. Frenzel. www.mycompletetransformation.com

$3,499? Holy cow, Does he do it out of the back of a van? If i remember correctly, the instruments mine used cost more then that.

Dr. Thomas Umbach, Las Vegas, NV $11,500

Me too I'm sheduled the 29th. But I'm sure going to some shows in Vegas will add to the cost :0)

It is the hiatal hernia program! My insurance covers the hiatal hernia and the $3499 is for the sleeve!! He is a really good doctor!

@@VGB I don't have a Hiatal hernia so I'm sure I won't qualify for that special price. I don't have health insurance. Everything I have to pay out of pocket.

Sorry and thanks everyone for you contribution to this topic. I've been really busy traveling for work. Looks like MrsSlim has been consistently following the topic. :) I still haven't made my decision but after all the food I ate for the holidays,I'm back on track. Lol. I'm leaning towards Dr. Corvola or Dr. Nicholson. Anyways, good luck to everyone!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
