I'm getting sleeved on Dec. 20th with Dr. Alejandro Lopez in Mexico and the cost is $4600 not including airlines. I did a lot of research and he has nothing but great reviews. He's with Specialized Bariatrics.

@@bams1220 yes I've heard nothing but good things about Dr Alejandro Lopez and his wife too :) they are a little cheaper than Dr Gustavo Yanez too. I may change my mind and go with him because he specializes in the SIL Sleeve Surgery.

Wow! Thank you for telling this information @@VGB :-) I just filled out the information on the website to know more. Are you really paying $3499 for the surgery? Why so cheap in the United states? I pray I can get it this cheap there also. Thank you and GOD BLESS YOU VGB :)

Hi bams1220 :) I'm so sorry I'm replying back so late. I've been working alot to save up enough money to have my gastric sleeve surgery done. I haven't decided yet. I may just go to Doctor Thomas Borland In New Iberia Louisiana or in Texas. What about you? I'm scared to go at it all along. I'm also scared to lose all of my long hair. I won't look good bold.

I am self-paying $3499 in Dallas, Tx. Dr. Frenzel. www.mycompletetransformation.com

$3,499? Holy cow, Does he do it out of the back of a van? If i remember correctly, the instruments mine used cost more then that.

Dr. Thomas Umbach, Las Vegas, NV $11,500

Me too I'm sheduled the 29th. But I'm sure going to some shows in Vegas will add to the cost :0)

It is the hiatal hernia program! My insurance covers the hiatal hernia and the $3499 is for the sleeve!! He is a really good doctor!

@@VGB I don't have a Hiatal hernia so I'm sure I won't qualify for that special price. I don't have health insurance. Everything I have to pay out of pocket.

Sorry and thanks everyone for you contribution to this topic. I've been really busy traveling for work. Looks like MrsSlim has been consistently following the topic. :) I still haven't made my decision but after all the food I ate for the holidays,I'm back on track. Lol. I'm leaning towards Dr. Corvola or Dr. Nicholson. Anyways, good luck to everyone!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
