Lower priced Dr.'s?



Recommended Posts

It looks like with all of the exclusions my insurance has for the sleeve, there is no way I will qualify, so I'm now looking at self-pay. The Dr. I had a consult with charges $16,500 plus co-pays, lab, etc. There is no way, even if I got a loan. So now I'm looking at other options. My husband is not comfortable with me going to Mexico but I am considering it. I live in Oklahoma, is there anyone near here that has lower fees?

It's hard to decide to go to another country for surgery when you have never stepped foot in the office until the day before surgery. Seems a little scary!!

I had the same issue and ended up going with Dr. Kahlil Shillingford in Boca Raton Florida. His self pay price was $10,500 which is one of the cheapest I've seen in the states. He is an excellent surgeon, I highly recommend him!

My husband was not comfortable with surgery in Mexico either, until I showed him the website, reviews, youtube videos, etc. I'm a RN and I feel very comfortable with the Obesity Control Center and Dr. Ortiz. :)

I know Mexico sounds a bit shady but it could not have been any better. When I had my surgery done in June 2015 I had a gal from Wyoming who had the surgery last year and had lost 85 poounds and was at goal. She brought her 16 year old daughter because she is already Type II diabetic and the long term use of her meds would severly compromise her liver. I cannot emphasize how wonderful everything was. Consider it - you will be amazed!

I am scheduled for August 2015 in Tijuana, my friend went to Mexico also. She has had amazing results! She said it was an amazing experience and her only regret was not doing it sooner!!

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
