I'm still waiting to hear if I'm approved with my insurance. I don't believe e paperwork has even started yet. I haven't even met with my surgeon (only my primary care physician). But do u guys feel that self pay is worth it? If I don't get approved I may just do self pay. I won't be going to Mexico tho. My friends brother went to Mexico for dental work a few years ago and never came home. To this day no ones heard from him :/.

It'd prob be like 15 k? I'm in the Austin area

Yes a total jerk

I'm sure he was trying to be funny

But he didn't make any of us smile

NOT FUNNY!

I was banded Oct. 6, 2012 in Reynosa, Mexico. This is across the border from McAllen. I paid 3800.00 dollars and was so worth it. My bmi was 33 and could not get it approved here using my insurance.

Wow that's great! Glad everything went well!

worth every penny of the $13,900!

I'm waiting to see if insurance will pay too. I'm in Wichita KS. I'm going through a weight loss clinic here, but will have to go to Kansas City for the actual surgery. Self pay here is $17,900 which includes the first year of appointments and fills. I'm starting to think that I should check into other locations if insurance doesn't pay. Everyone else on here seems to be paying a lot less? Frustrating!

Banditchic, I would definitely check around, the $13,000 (Cincinnati, OH) I paid includes fills and nutritionist visits for the first 2 years.

I'm self pay having my surgery in Houston True Results I live in Louisiana. It's 9900' date=' it's a lot but once u think about the money spent on diets n girdles and money on clothes when u gain or when you lose for a short period of time. Well worth it!!!!!!![/quote']

I love my decision the first couple of days I was upset and angry at myself I was like I can't believe I put myself through all of this pain. But the pain is slowly going away the scale is decreasing so I'm happy. My cost ended up being $5500 because I had a hiatal hernia. Good luck to u!!!
