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!

Vgb. ..I'm assuming that was with insurance,right?

3499 is the cheapest price in TJ. No way that it is 3499 in dallas unless he has insurance coverage.

No, my insurance doesn't cover this type of surgery! I paid $3499! I had surgery on the 16th! Check him out www.mycompletetransformation.com

Try Dr. Clayton Frenzel in dallas, Tx! I paid a total of $3499.00 for everything!!!

I would be terrified to have surgery in the US for that price. Would make me really wonder what corners they were cutting to keep the price that low. Hell, that's $3000 less than I paid in Mexico! I don't think I'd even be comfortable going to a Mexican surgeon for that price.

I agree...i would be terrified to have vsg surgery in the u.s or Mexico for less than 3500.

Well, I had it and I am fine! I guess I forgot to add I had a hiatal hernia repair that my insurance did cover! I didn't want to go into detail, that is why I posted the website!

I saw on the web site that the standard rate for VSG is over $10,000 and the $3500 rate is for "qualified patients only". Maybe that's what the mean, that if you qualify for hernia repair, they only charge $3500, because then insurance is covering your hospital stay and anesthesiologist (two of the things that make surgery in the US more expensive).

So, I am self pay. I was quoted 12,000in fla., but if there are post op complications,it's on me. Anyone know if insurance would cover post op complications if the original surgery did not go through them?

It depends on your insurance policy. You should call them and ask. That's what I did.

i paid $4500 plus prescriptions.

Hi Giggleblue...who was you surgeon? Dr. Corvala will be my surgeon but it may help someone else who hasn't decided on a doc yet?

i listed him in the surgeon section to the left of my post.

Okay. Thanks to you.

Nieceybelle,

Do you have a surgery date yet?

4/24 but considering an earlier date.

Rocky, do you know how many incisions Dr. Corvala makes for the VSG?
