I was self-pay with a wonderful surgeon just 2 hours from me in Louisiana. 9800$ total which included surgical center, 2 surgeons, all Pre and post op visits and anesthesia. Much more comfy to me than going to Mexico, but everyone is different :) I used a personal loan to pay for mine.

25,000 all in. Surgery, pre op and post op. I am using my bonus from last year to pay. Ironically I work for Kaiser Permanente but they won't pay as I don't meet their requirements. So I find it amusing that I am using their money to do it!

Wow a 25000 dollar bonus for one person. What the heck did you do that was far beyond the job ur paid to do?

I was sleeved on Oct. 30th in Tijuana, MX by Dr. Garcia. I paid $4,700 for everything. I only had to pay a $500 deposit and then the balance was due the day I arrived and checked in. I paid by CC for the deposit, then by cashier's check for the remaining balance.

Best thing I did for myself!!!

I didn't say my bonus was 25,000. I said I was using my bonus from last year. As for what I do..I earned every penny of my bonus..trust me.

You have to admit it sounds like u got a 25000 dollar bonus. That's a lot that is all I am saying. No wonder insurance is so dn high

Actually it does not sound like that at all. I also don't appreciate you judging how much or how little a bonus I earn when you have zero clue what I do. Furthermore, I am not following your logic about bonuses and high insurance costs.

pay your deposit, then pay with cashiers check, they ask for a photocopy to verify your appt date bc ppl have been know to back out, which cost them bc that time was scheduled, if there is no photocopy they assume you cancelled and can fill your space, also ppl have gotten cashiers check and stopped payment on them so the photocopy also gives them time to verify the check as good. I suggest you bring your balance with you and only pay the deposit as requested. The doctor you are using is CREDIBLE he just sleeved my brother without any incidents!

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
