How much was you self-pay ?

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 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 d

$7500 for gastric bypass with lap band retrieval. Additional $567.10 for a " complications fund insurance policy" to cover any complications that might occur since my health insurance wont cover anything related to this, $1287.00 for airfare, another $500 to stay 3 extra nights above what the package paid for. I stayed longer just to be safe, and a few hundred for things like vitamins, protein shakes, act. Roughly $10,000 for everything. I could have gotten significantly cheaper airfare but I decided on first class and non stop. I did t want to be smushed in coach right after surgery...
