Cheapest Place in US for Sleeve?

[DuckieXD 20]

I am in a contest to win free gastric sleeve but i am loosing. bad.

If I loose I will probably do self pay as it is excluded from my insurance. My hubby is against Mexico; I on the other hand wouldn't mind. Where have you guys found the cheapest place to get the sleeve done?

Thanks in advance

Dallas, Houston and several practices in OKlahoma and Alabma have lower cost self pays. Keep in mind that costs may increase due to services that may not be covered such as tests, meds, hotel stays, local transportation, etc... These options are generally short stay surgical centers or hospitals which is fine if you are local.

Ill have to look into that. I emailed the bariatric dept of our hospital here in Utah. I am most likely already going to have my gallbladder removed and since my insurance is going to pay for that I am going to see if i can just do a two-in-one procedure and find out how much it'll be to do the sleeve at the same time. Crossing my fingers its cheaper.

You should try educating your husband about Mexico as an option. There are many AMAZING surgeons in Mexico. As they say, you get what you pay for. If you go with the cheapest in the US, you aren't going to be getting a world class surgeon. If you are willing to spend about the same amount in Mexico, you WILL be getting a world class surgeon.

There is a surgeon in Las Vegas (Umbach?) that a lot of sleevers here have used and they have seemed very happy with him. He is supposed to have very low rates. Looks like he would also be relatively close to you.

Wow, looking for the cheapest is not the way to go. Look for a highly respected surgeon at an affordable price is what I'd be looking for, and the best place for that is Tijuana. I'm interested in having an eye lift done because of droopy lids, and when I went to the opthamologist where I live, he said when would you like to book in, it will be covered by health care. I informed him I wasn't interested in having it done anywhere else but Mexico, but was only seeing him so I could get a note saying it was neccesary so I could deduct the surgery and flight from my income tax. I'd rather have a world class surgeon do what I need done than a who's the cheapest. I saw scars from an upper arm lift done with a surgeon in the US and one from a respected surgeon in Mexico, and I can honestly say the poor lady that had it done was totally butchard in the US (probably from someone that was cheap).. Please be careful!
