Any sleevers from Arizona???

Were any of you self-pay? If so, how much for VSG?

My insurance covered all the expenses! So to be honest im clueless on the price

Nice! I have family in Arizona so thought it might be a good option for travel, thanks though and happy sleevin'!

Yes, I was self pay. I am a Mexico sleever. I used alighterme.com, my sleeve only cost $4,700. That included a 3 day hospital stay, 4 days at the Marriott in Tijuana, and all the broth and popsicles my heart desired!! I'd love to tell you more if you're interested. Just PM me! A side note, I had previously looked into using Dr. Monash out of Tucson, was seeing him went through the whole process and my husband's insurance changed. If I would have gone self pay with him, it would have been 21k.

There is an existing thread for Arizona Sleevers just a few threads down the page at http://www.bariatricpal.com/topic/263298-any-az-sleevers/. Would you like to merge this one with that one?

I am ok with it - but I didn't start this thread...

Thanks, I live in Washington where VSG trends $16-18k. I am looking into tourism but domestically only, my family has unilaterally rejected Mexico (or any non-US location). I lived in Prescott for almost 9 years and have family there and in the Phoenix area.

I live in Mesa, AZ.

Hello,

My name is Christine. I will be relocating to the Phoenix area right after my surgery in Tijuana on 2/20/14. Would love to get to know some new people.

Welcome! Good luck with your surgery, I line in Mesa.

Are any of you on Facebook? I created a page for westcoast wls people, since I get on here infrequently since the new change. I am in a few groups on fb for support but there seems to be a lot of drama so I wanted to create my own group. Originally I wanted it strictly for AZ people but I didn't know a lot of AZ people so expanded it to include the west coast, so that we can find locally people in our area and meet people going through the same things we are, I'm looking for new friends who've had WLS and who can identify with my journey, since a lot of my non wls friends either don't know, or don't understand what I'm going through. I'd like to get a workout buddy too, to help encourage each other to reach our goals and figured there might be others out there looking to do the same. If your interested let me know, I'd be happy to send an invite!
