I’m wanting weight loss surgery but I don’t have health insurance. I’m from Houston,TX. Can anyone suggest a doctors office that offers affordable payment options for their procedures?

I had my surgery in Tijuana, Mexico. In researching places to go, there are many p,laces that are affiliated with credit/ loan programs. My friend used this method for her surgery. They did pull her credit and after approved she now has monthly payments to make.

I do not know the company that she used for financing. But she found the option for financing on the Obesity Control Center website.

I hope that helps.

It depends on your STATS: weight etc. There is a DR that does WLS's in Texas. He does surgeries on the larger sized people. He is on TV also. I think he is a pretty good Surgeon and he is a NO CRAP taker. LOL His name is DR. NOW, I can't say or spell his last name but you can look him up under "My 600# Life. Maybe this won't help you but I thought I would throw it out there. Also, the company that my hubby went thru had payment plans. I would not suggest them. It is BELITE. Don't go to Juarez, Mexico please!!! If you are interested I can give you the low down on it. Have a great Sunday!!

I live in San Antonio and just arrived to Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, where I will be having my surgery. Total price will be around $5,000 out of pocket. There is also a really good surgeon in Piedras Negras, Coahuila who operated on my cousin and got great results... that doctor runs you about $9,000 however. Hope this helps! :)

I also live in Houston, my surgeon is Dr.Galileo Villareal in Nuevo Laredo, MX, a 5 1/2 hr drive from Houston. Today is my surgery at 9 am. I paid $4099 total included lodging & hospital stay for 2 days. I'll be home on Sunday. My doc is awesome!!! My insurance did not cover this surgery, so I did some research into Bariatric surgery and found him through an agency. Say a prayer for me, I go in to surgery at 9am.

      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.
