Self Pay Question for those in the Houston Texas Area



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone. I’m a newbie here and this is my first post. I’m so thrilled. I was approved today for my loan to have gastric sleeve surgery. I have wanted to have this surgery for several years now and have just been unable to afford it and my insurance will not cover. Anyway, I am located in the Houston Texas area and I wanted to ask the people who were/are self-pay what the price of their surgery was and who their doctor was. I was going to go with Doctor Robert Marvin because I’d been told and I’d read a few places that his price was 11,000 but when I called today they said that was not the case and its 13,400. Just wondering if there is anyone in Houston do does it cheaper. Thanks so much for the help.

Dr clayton frenzel in Dallas is 12,500.00 with a 1,000 off discount till the end of the year so 11,500.00 and it covers everything plus he will give you a 1000 voucher to come back later to have any cosmetic surgery after your weight loss Good luck! Mexico is the next option

      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.
