Hi all,

My daughter's insurance company doesn't cover WLS. I'm just wondering what the range of cost for the sleeve is if you're self-pay. If you know the average for all-in, surgeon, hospital, anesthesiologist that would be great. I know it will vary widely, but we're just trying to get an idea of what to expect. She's not interested in traveling out of country. Thanks!

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, can you post a link of who you went through? How to get in touch with them, etc?

I've seen folks suggest a lighter me website. Hope this helps.

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.
