gettingstarted

Went to doctor Nowzaradan in Bellaire Texas and he stated gastric bypass for 20 grand... ( self pay ) He was very negative on all other types of surgeries. time spent in doctors office 3+ hours, time spent with doctor 15 minutes. They did a chest xray and circulation test everything came out fine. Talked to the staff and mentioned self pay and they said 17k for gastric bypass Decided to attend a clinic sponsored support group and found all but one person has gastric bypass ( and one sleeve ) Does anyone have any additional info on this doctor

I am actually leaning towards the sleeve now .. I have an appt with a Doc in Houston Sat. And will see what he recomends and how much the surgery is here. Then I will do my homework

And my search fu was weak ... http://www.lapbandtalk.com/forum/2451-self-pay-mexico-lap-band-surgery-new-forum/

First i am new registration here. So hello everyone. I just found out will have to self pay for lap band based on my insurance coverage. So I am looking around cheaper alternatives to the costly surgieres in the States. Is there a list or sticky somewhere of doctors that perform this service ? I understand that research and due diligance should still be performed no matter what. Trying to search google is a waste of time . I have been searching around her and found 2 names abut couldnt find a central location for info . Thanks in advance
