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.

      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.
