dinace 4 Posted July 22, 2016 I have been going through a hospital in Cleveland planning on getting the sleeve. I basically have the all clear. My insurance does not pay!! The cost is 23,000. After I had all the tests and lost 30 lbs I started to look into Medical Tourism and found a great surgeon in Mexico for less than half of Cleve price. What frustrates me is that they expect me to go on a Adkins type diet and still lose 5-10% of my weight before surgery, which is Aug 17th. I understand the pre op diet and shrinking my liver, but I'm so frustrated that they want me to lose 12 Lbs, at the least, before my surgery in a month. I took me 4 months to lose 30!! I don't know if I'm being unreasonable and a baby lmk and don't be jerks about it! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LetItGo 73 Posted July 22, 2016 $23,000 is twice what I paid and I wasn't required to 'weigh' a certain amount since I paid cash for the surgery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
