Hey guys..

I figure I am going to have to pay out of pocket for my surgery as I have about 50lbs to lose.

Any ideas on ballpark for this surgery?

Also, how long between committing and surgery ?

Just curious..

I would think it varies between practices. For me, I attending the seminar this week and called the next day to make an appointment with the surgeon for the evaluation. He was booked about three weeks out, so I'll be seeing him July 1. They said self pays usually are scheduled for surgery within a month after the appointment.

My surgeon is $15k. Start to finish it was about 8-10 weeks. That is because I had to meet with a Nutritionist, blood work, EKG, etc.
