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.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
