I noticed that a lot of surgeons have summer specials. Is getting the surgery usually cheaper in the summertime? I'm having to save up for the surgery and may not be able to get it until next March or so, but I may hold off until next summer if that's when the deals are!

In Mexico they were running July and August sales. It was $1000.00 savings for me:)

I dont know, maybe its me, I would question any surgoen who is running a "sale" or "special" check with past patients and his success rate...

My health is priceless

Check out TJ Mexico. I was sleeved in April for 4,500 and let me tell you it was the best decision i have ever made. I love having the sleeve.

I think they have summer specials because it slows down in summer. As a clinician, summer time is really slow for me. People are busy with travel plans/vacations, kids being out of school and TJ is HOT in summer (I'm assuming!).

The doctors in Dallas, TX, will run specials too. It isn't unusual for cash paying customers.

Also, when I needed testing before I had insurance, I would ask the doctor or hospital for a discount since I was paying cash in advance. It works.

TJ is not hot the average temp is 70's. I am here now and it is wonderful. Sure beats the 100+ we are having at home! My sleeve cost me a total of 4700.00 and it is worth every penny!

Hi, I looked at your profile and we are the same hieight, but I'm 25# heavier. May I ask who your surgeon was? I don't see it on your profile.

Hi Carolyn, 70 sure sounds better than 105 here. May I ask who your surgeon is? I am still researching and trying to choose.

I used Dr Lopez. He and his wife work as a team. All of the people on his team are great. There is not much out about him but that is because he is fairly new I think. My husband was very impressed by them and Mi hospital. My cost was 4700.00. The hotel is very nice very comparable to any nice room in the states. The price included food for me. Ron as to buy his own. Doesn't cost much. Room in hospital was for both same in hotel. Airfare was 350. I booked about a month ahead. Let me know if I can help.

I used Dr. Verboonen, he was great. I currently weigh 134 and love it!

I decided on Dr Quinones with $4000 including free hotel for entire stay. All I pay is airfare:) Best deal I have found yet!

how much would it be without airfare & hotel?? i mean standard range? I have like 2000 saved up :x

I haven't been quoted anything lower than $4,500 to be honest. Please do extensive research on all the doctors that you're considering. Don't go to the one with the best deal. At first that's what I was going to do but realize after reading several posts that I do not want to take the cheap route. Lol I mean, there are other good doctors that are reasonable too.
