How Much Should The Surgery Cost?



Recommended Posts

I am getting mine in mexico, how much should it cost by itself? Of course it depends on the doctor but what is the average range in dlls?

This is a really hard question to answer. The surgeons each have their own fee.

Find out what it covers when researching which surgeon you want to do your surgery.

Do you want to be in a hospital, in case of complications? Some surgeons send you to a recovery house, which is not a hospital.

I'm having mine in Fort Worth Tx. Cost for everything, surgeon, hospital stay, pre op, post op, nutritionist, anesthesiology, entire package $13,800. I don't know if that is high or low but what I've searched it's an average price. In Mexico I've researched $4,000 to $8,000. I hope this helped. Good Luck

Dr. Aceves charges 8750 which includes everything, other than airfare. They pick you up at the airport, take you for all your preop tests, take you to the beautiful hotel and pick you up in the morning for surgery. You're hospitlized for 3 days then picked up and returned to the airport.

I'm also doing mine in Mexico... $7500, plus plane and hotel for the first 2 days before I go into the hospitl... so an extra $1000 for that. Plus, with an extra 2 days, I get to do some site seeing before the surgery.

Definitely worth it. If I had tried to have the surgery here, I'd never be able to have the surgery. The insurance God's deamed that to be so.

My health is a whole lot more important than a denial from my insurance, so BLLLAAAAHHH on the insurance companies out there that don't get it.

I had surgery with Dr Kelly in Tijuana MX on May 10th this year. It cost $5500 plus airfare.

That included 2 nights in the hospital, then 2 nights in the hotel Lucerna. Had a great time & no complications!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
