My surgery is scheduled for May 7th, 2013. It's with Dr. Sherman Smith of Rocky Mountain Bariatrics in SLC, Utah
It includes 1 overnight stay in the hospital and covers any complications within 90 days up to 100,000 dollars. The price was 15K

Update: So it turns out I had a lot of complications many of them from pre-existing things that I didn't know anything about. My doctor was great he repaired the bleeding spleen and took off a lot of the scar tissue on my large liver. My lungs had a really hard time recovering it made it really hard for me to heal and move forward I also had a abnormal heart arrhythmia which we discovered was pre-existing that no one caught. I was in the hospital for four days got checked out but then had to get readmitted the next day because I developed pneumonia. I'm pretty certain if I had chosen a doctor in Mexico I probably wouldn't be here or at the very least would of had to stay there and somehow come up with the extra 50 or $60,000 that I would have owed. The program through Dr. Sherman Smith or the Rocky Mountains bariatric Center includes up to hundred thousand dollars of medical fees within the first 90 days of surgery. Sherman Smith was a great surgeon and I'm glad I chose him . My weight from day of surgery was 217 it is 200 7 days later.
