Is anyone paying full price cash pay for their surgery? I am because my insurance doesn't cover it. How much are you roughly paying?

There are numerous posts about this. Many people tend to go to Mexico it's around 4-5k

Texas I've seen around 5/6

Everywhere else is all over the board

I was self pay. Had surgery here in US. I think I paid around 25000 when it was all said and done. Luckily, I had a family member give me a small portion of it. I then used a credit card that had zero interest for 15 months and am paying it off monthly. Even though it was very expensive, I would do it all over again in a heartbeat.

6 months after surgery down 120 lbs!

The occ in Mexico is about 4 k ...great reviews , center of expelled and international acclaim. If my insurance denies me I am headed there

I had my VSG surgery in Tijuana one year ago. I paid $4400 and that included everything but the airfare to San Diego. 5 nights (Marriott night before surgery, 2 nights in hospital, 2 more nights at Marriott.) I had a great experience and am looking into returning for breast lift with augmentation.

My best to you in whichever location you decide upon. You will not regret having the surgery!

Hoping to make it too mexico in late March early April

Waiting on birth certificate,then getting passport.

I'm in wa state and paying 17k for the surgery.

OCC in mexico for vsg is 6500 but very reputable. I am paying 6500 with Corvala but his price just went up to 7500

I'm in El Paso Texas with a bariatric center of excellence. Dr. Lara with Del Sol. I'm cash paying at $10,500. There is a Mexico option that is like 30 miles from my house in Juarez Mexico that they said their price is $6,800. Even though I have checked out all the credentials with the doc in Jtown, I'm staying state side because it's 3 days in Jtown and I would have no one to watch my kiddos. I'm also insanely picky about doctors and I have already met Dr. Lara and really liked him.

Tamg26k what credit card has 0 interest? I would like to apply????most are from10% 20%

@@bamp62 I bank at Bank of America and they have one. I'm not quite done paying off my credit card so I researched transferring the balance to a new card. US Bank also has a card offer with 0 interest. It is worth it for me to pay the transfer fee and transfer the balance.

Best of luck!!

I paid $10500 in Las Vegas, self pay cash price.

My doctors office in Texas offers self pay-it's $14,000. I had a major run around with insurance & thought of self pay at one point-it took us over a year to get approved, 2 denials & finally got approved. I was sleeved 2 weeks ago.

Which doctor?

I'm paying 14500 here in Orlando. I had decided to take a year off college to earn the money and was really in the dumps, and then my mother told me she would front the entire cost and I could pay her back in monthly increments. I'm very, very grateful, because so many people need it just as badly and don't have the same family support.

I looked into Mexico, but as a nurse, I've seen too many horror stories of people traveling abroad for surgeries gone bad (although it seems the WLS docs frequented by people on this board are awesome). I'd also be petrified to be in a foreign country by myself.

It's amazing how fast and easy the process is for self pay. A lot of the people I've met at the same office have to wait up to five years for their surgery, which is ridiculous!
