Self Pay options for a New Englander.. Help!

I live in central Mass and qualify for surgery. The problem is it is a exclusion on my insurance and they cover nothing. Nice! But they're ok paying Dr bills in regards to being overweight.

I'm wondering if anyone has been a self-pay in this area and the costs. Also, the aftercare. Any recommendations/comments/stories are helpful. I called one location which is about 50 miles away for me and it’s $20k… Lot of $$ and lot of travel. Umass will not do self pay, insurance only.

I know Mexico is offering some deals but who can go back for fills and who in the area would pick up the slack here if there were an issue?
