Hey guys, was wondering if anyone has had their gastric sleeve done in Los Angeles, self paid (how much) and which doctor you ultimate went with. I really would like to get it done, however, I don't qualify through insurance. I'm only a 33/34 BMI, my blood pressure is high, but not high enough, my cholesterol is high, but not high enough, and i don't have any of the other obesity related qualifers. Before delving into my options in Mexico, wanted to find out if Los Angeles would be a viable option (I know it won't be the cheapest but wanted to see how much it could be). Thanks!!

@River Moon wow! thank you for all of this info!! from your initial consultation how long did it take to book your surgery? i haven't seen my pcp in the last 6 months, just saw him the other day to get his thoughts on the sleeve.

Hi, wanted to see if anyone has gone through blue shield of CA PPO process. After years of dieting with little sucess, I am seriously thinking about getting the gastric sleeve done. But I'm afraid I won't qualify...I am right at a 35 BMI. So wanted to connect with other people that have tried to get qualifed with this insurance. Otherwise, I do think my alternative would be to go to Mexico. Thanks!

Hey, was wondering if you guys ultimately got approval for the sleeve? Did you guys do a home sleep study or a in lab one? I too am about a 35 BMI and probably will be mild case of sleep apnea. Would love to get approved here in the US but have come to terms that I may have to go to Mexico. Thanks!
