Hello there... I want to have the Sleeve surgery in the next month or so. Curious to know how much the self payers spent and the doctor who performed the surgery. My insurance will not cover. I prefer to stay in the states, but MX is an option. Thanks guys!

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.

@MrsSlimFinelsComingBack when are you planning on getting sleeved. Have you made your choice yet?

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

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.

You will soon be getting your Christmas gift I see. I know you are very excited I am excited for you! I keep thinking how beautiful I will look again once all of this weight is off.

$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 am having a sleeve w dr ariel langadere ortiz at occ on Jan 5

6500 then additional for flight

Niecybelle,

I also considered Nicholson in the. US and Corvala and Rodriguez in TJ.

They are all very fine surgeons.

Leaning towards Corvala in the spring. I spoke to him last month as physician to physicians and was very impressed.
