Average cost for self-pay



Recommended Posts

I paid 10,500 with Dr. Shillingford in Boca Raton. This is all inclusive labs, xrays, hospital stay, surgery, cardio work up etc.. He is an excellent surgeon and his office staff is fantastic.

For those of you that posted that you got the surgery done in Mexico or outside of the states' date=' can you post a link of who you went through? How to get in touch with them, etc?[/quote']

I went through Ready 4 a Change in Mexico with Dr Fernando Garcia on 9/13. Just a week ago. I paid $4700 and airfare. I have lost 36 lbs thus far and could not be any happier with my decision. Good luck to you.

I went through www.alighterme.com . I worked with Ronda and Janese as the U.S. coordinators. And Abraham and Eduardo on the Mexico side. I had Dr. Elias Ortiz and his entire team, the staff and the hospital were all fantastic. The Marriott hotel in TJ was the nicest I've ever stayed in. And it was easily the best decision I've ever made.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
