Dr. Kelly in Mexico $5500 plus two plane tickets and spending money for a total of $6200. I don't find going to Mexico to be controversial.

I also had a consultation in the Dallas / Fort Worth area of Texas and was quoted $10,500 which includes a year of follow ups.

I'm in Washingon state, but chose Dr ponce de leon in TJ for under $6000 revision.

Recommend MX simple for the fact of their vast experience and care. Also, from all the posts I've read it seems like US dr tend to over anesthetize, over gas and over pain-medicate and is tends to lead to longer recovery time.. Just my opinion

I am in Austin, TX & was quoted $9,900 (surgeon, anesthesiologist, hospital stay over night but psych eval, NUT class , etc was extra but only about $200. Kind of worries me that southwest bariatric's price quote is so much lower than other cities.

Yikes, looking at the other responses, I think I drastically overpaid.

Wisconsin: 23,500- includes 90 days postoperative care. Doesn't include NUT, psych, endoscopy. All together I paid about 28,000.

Austin, TX - Dr. Ganta. I paid around $14,500. It included a year of follow up, the hospital, anethesia, etc etc. Awesome doctor and awesome after care. That was a year and a half ago, but I think the prices are pretty much the same.

6800 in Juarez w/ Dr. Rodriguez. More expensive than the other Mexican locations, but Dr. Rod is dual certified in WLS and endoscopy. So after surgery he scopes you to check everything out. Also he is certified in America, and does surgeries in Las Vegas. I feel very safe and comfortable about this. Airfare from GA for 2 ppl is about 1200 in March. So $8000 total for me.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
