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'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? 🤷‍♀️
