I remember waiting for my surgery date, so exciting! Now is a good time to be really educating yourself, and joining BP is a great step towards doing that. I look forward to following your progress.

Congrats july 25th for me.

Hello, I'm in Orlando. Plan to get sleeved on July 12 by Dr. Shillingford. It can't come soon enough.

You look ravishing!

Dr. Shillingford. I am scheduled for May 24th!

Dr. Shillingford. He did mine on 5/5. I feel great. Staff is extremely helpful.

Thank you for the reply!
I actually found a Dr. in Boca that has an all inclusive deal. $10,500. I plan on using them. If all goes well... I am scheduled to have my surgery July 12th. So excited!

I weaned down my caffeine slowly so it hadnt been too terrible. But no sugar, no carbs, no caffeine along with high stress and no sleep is making me homocidal, luckily I think actually killing someone would take more energy and time than I have.
I made a Decaf, chocolate Protein mocha thingie hoping I could fake my body into energy... nope.

Hello,
I am going to be self pay since my insurance excludes bariatric surgery. I am looking for a recommendation for a surgeon that was a good price and had a great experience. I am willing to travel North or South in FL.
In my area (Orlando) the average price for self pay is approx. $14,500. There is a surgery center that does the sleeve as an out-patient procedure. I am a little hesitation about that. It is around $10,500.
Thank you! =)

The private rooms in Mexico are great. Mine was in Juarez. I think the quality of care was great, the cost savings spectacular.

I too live in Florida and found that the pricing was just too high. My insurance also excluded vsg. So for $5k me and my daughter went to TJ where I had the surgery on 4/15/16. Everything went well. Keep in mind that if you are a self pay in the US you get 0-1 nights in the hospital after surgery. In TJ I was in the hospital for 3 nights. You can't beat the pricing and the service. Every thing in MX is about you. I plan to return to MX for my mommy makeover in 2 years.
