I have been researching Dr's in Mexico and nervous about goin out of the country. Any one self pay in the Pennsylvania or Ohio area. Who was your Dr. and how much did you pay? I did contact a surgeons office 2 hours from me in Erie PA. I thought the price was quite high at 15,000. I am not sure he does that many VSG'S as rny and lapband are quite popular in my area. Thanks for your help and time.

My fiance is getting ready to have VSG in Cincinnati. The self pay total is $15,300 but the surgeon is very experienced. He did my surgery and I've no problems at all.

In the DFW area here in Texas, the self pay price for the Dr that is going to do my surgery is $10950. I know several that use this DR and everyone seems to like him really well. I have to do the 6 month pre diet, so haven't had the surgery yet. However, I am about a 2.5 hr drive to the DR office, so everything has been over the phone and via internet so far. http://www.mybariatricsolutions.com/

I live 30 min. from Cincy and I went to Dr. Almanza in TJ Mexico. It was a single flight and I did very well. Best wishes.

SHOPPINGBEEMOM, thanks. I am considering Dr. Garcia. I feel I am making the right decision by going to Mexico. Still a little nervous but I would be if I did it in the us too.

I had VSG in Mexico with Dr. Rodriguez. It is the best thing I ever decided to do. The cost is about $8000 and the hospital was safe and very clean. It is actually used by the US Embassy.

Hello there! I am also in the philly area, and I was wondering if you had your surgery yet? What did you decide to do? Mexico or the U.S., and if you went with the U.S., who did you use? I, myself, have decided to have the sleeve surgery, and am trying to find someone.
