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!

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.

@@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!!

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.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
