Any Self Pays Here Who Had Vsg Done In Pa Or Ohio Area?



Recommended Posts

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.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
