Is anyone paying full price cash pay for their surgery? I am because my insurance doesn't cover it. How much are you roughly paying?

There are numerous posts about this. Many people tend to go to Mexico it's around 4-5k

Texas I've seen around 5/6

Everywhere else is all over the board

I was self pay. Had surgery here in US. I think I paid around 25000 when it was all said and done. Luckily, I had a family member give me a small portion of it. I then used a credit card that had zero interest for 15 months and am paying it off monthly. Even though it was very expensive, I would do it all over again in a heartbeat.

6 months after surgery down 120 lbs!

The OCC in Mexico is about 4 k ...great reviews , center of expelled and international acclaim. If my insurance denies me I am headed there

I had my VSG surgery in Tijuana one year ago. I paid $4400 and that included everything but the airfare to San Diego. 5 nights (Marriott night before surgery, 2 nights in hospital, 2 more nights at Marriott.) I had a great experience and am looking into returning for breast lift with augmentation.

My best to you in whichever location you decide upon. You will not regret having the surgery!

I'm in El Paso Texas with a bariatric center of excellence. Dr. Lara with Del Sol. I'm cash paying at $10,500. There is a Mexico option that is like 30 miles from my house in Juarez Mexico that they said their price is $6,800. Even though I have checked out all the credentials with the doc in Jtown, I'm staying state side because it's 3 days in Jtown and I would have no one to watch my kiddos. I'm also insanely picky about doctors and I have already met Dr. Lara and really liked him.

@@bamp62 I bank at Bank of America and they have one. I'm not quite done paying off my credit card so I researched transferring the balance to a new card. US Bank also has a card offer with 0 interest. It is worth it for me to pay the transfer fee and transfer the balance.

Best of luck!!

My doctors office in Texas offers self pay-it's $14,000. I had a major run around with insurance & thought of self pay at one point-it took us over a year to get approved, 2 denials & finally got approved. I was sleeved 2 weeks ago.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
