I am in GA and I paid $15,500 and that cost included an insurance policy that would pay in case of complications...good thing because I had bleeding a week later and had to have emergency surgery, 3 nights in ICU and several more days in a regular room. If I had not had the insurance that came with my self-pay package, my bill for the complications would have been about $70,000. It might be a good idea to check and see if your surgeon offers this. The insurance is BLIS and it is specifically for bariatric surgery.

I am going to be sleeved on May 23 and I am on the liquid pre-op diet. I can have 3 or 4 sf instant Breakfast shakes, sf Jello, sf popsicles, broth and non carbonated caffeine free sugar free drinks. Do you think a little FF coffeemate in my Decaf would be OK? Skim milk just tastes horrible in coffee. There is so much great info in these forums! Thanks to all of you!

Today is day three of my all liquid one week pre-op diet...my surgery is 5/23. I get 3 sugar free Instant Breakfast shakes, broth, sf Jello, sf popsicles and sf nocaffeine liquids only. The two Smart Ones sure sound good to me!
