Self Pays -- How much did you pay?



Recommended Posts

I paid $12,500 for everything here in Houston but my doctor is retired. I used 2 interest free credit cards and paid it off in 1 year. When interest free runs out transfer to another interest free credit card.

Kansas, $11,999.00 w/ 1 year fills and appointments. Everything included except the head doc eval. :D Went to him not for cost so much but because his seminar was so good and he lets you know he is the best. Of course I will know more once I actually get there on the 20th, saw him yesterday for my pre op appointment.

I paid $14,000 on 1/31/10, but of course a year later they have a special now for $9900. This is in So. Cal

They have offices in Beverly Hills and San Dimas.

I am just getting started and am looking at going to the same place. My insurance covers it except I have a $4900 deductible and then 10% copay after that.

When do they start charging you?

Please let me know your experiences as all other people I know went to Malley.

I paid 5,000 US for my band in Korea. Though getting the band abroad might not seem like a good idea I live here so it just made sense.

Yes I'll be moving out of here sooner or later but 5,000 is a whole lot better then 20,000 I'd probably pay in Canada

I live in Az and went through TrueResults. I had a hiatal hernia that insurance covered, but they wouldn't cover the band. So they billed the insurance company for the hernia repair and I paid $5,500 for the band and a year of after care. I started looking at there company and 30 days later I had the surgery.

      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.
