Looking for all inclusive cash pricing in Houston.



Recommended Posts

I will be self pay as I am overweight but have almost no problems, and never have. I am looking for surgeons who have all inclusive pricing. I am looking for someone who has their own clinic to preform the surgery. That way I get no surprises on the bills. I do not want 20 bills coming later, even if its the same price. I want to have a budget and know I can pay my bills. I prefer the Houston area but no opposed to San Antonio, Austin or Dallas. Thank you for any information.

I'm interested in the replies you get. I'm in SE Texas too. I'll have a hard enough time convincing my husband to go along with the surgery, much less even consider talking him into believing it would be safe in Mexico, though that was originally my plan. He's against the whole thing. Of course, he's 5'11" and probably weighs 150 lbs soaking wet and has never even been on a diet, so he doesn't understand how it could possibly be so hard to just lose the weight.... I've been considering Dr. Thomas Borland in New Iberia, LA. Complete price (excluding hotel and travel) is $9800, no surprises. That includes his fee, hospital stay, operation, anesthesia, etc. He has good reviews too. He has a website with info, though I don't know if I'm allowed to post a link.

@txmt. That does not seem like a bad price. I have found prices listed but since do not specifically say it includes the hospital, I figured it was the surgeon fee only. I have found a lot of recommended surgeons, but do not want to call them all. I too looked at Mexico. My husband needs this too and for the price of one here we could have both in Mexico. He also has problems with going there. I think the big problem with going there is they are able to remove every bad review and it makes them harder to find. I believe most if not all of the good ones are from real people but there has to be bad ones. A huge number of Americans are rude and expectant people, there is no way they are all happy and satisfied. I feel at a loss looking online.

        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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
