Has anyone found a doctor in the states that will do sleeve surgery for 10k cash ? I have no insurance, live in Florida. I thought of Mexico but just worried I will not find a doctor to see me afterwards.

I don't know how open you are to traveling but there's a place in San Antonio, TX that advertises the sleeve for $9,990. It's Sage Bariatric. https://www.sagebariatric.com/sleeve-surgey-9400/
They have a ton of accolades and awards and John Pilcher has some really great YouTube content. Their office was one of my top choices. The only reason I didn't choose them is because I didn't want to travel after surgery and found a wonderful surgeon closer to home.

you may be able to get away with that amount with finding a outpatient center that does that surgery. Or save. I live in Florida and i paid cash. Mine was around $20K after all the testing and such.

I went to Dr Shillingford in Boca Raton, it was $11,500. He had the best reputation and a great price to make it even better. Everything was very easy and from 1st call to surgery date it was just under 2 months.

Also, They do out patient centers or hospitals depending on your BMI.

      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.
