  1. I certainly haven't ruled Mexico out, but I would really like to see what else is in Arizona or neighboring states as well.
  2. Hi everyone, Has anyone got info on which surgeons in Phoenix & Tucson, Arizona have (1) the most VSG experience and (2) their prices? I attended a seminar with Burpee & Chiasson in Tucson - their $$ = $18,500 for self-pay. I see that other states have some docs around $12-13K. Are there any in Arizona? I can't see waiting until my insurance would cover VSG as I've sacrificed enough of my life feeling miserable, fat, & unwell. I really don't want a bypass or band although insurance would pay; it seems that many get a band & end up sleeving when it fails to really work for them. Any info will be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Cherie_B
