I paid $10,000 in Edmond, OK. They work with a local credit union which is a good financing option using a signature loan.

I tried googling but I can't get a good description of how to tell if you have a heital hernia... Anyone know? I'm had a c-section and 2 back surgeries so who knows what's happening in my midsection!

Beverley oaks surgery center Dr. Mutafyan

Do you recommend him or her? I'm also in Los Angeles and had a consultation at Marina Del Rey hospital. It would be $29,000, and my insurance wouldn't cover any of it. Yikes.

Hi, who's the surgeon? I'm really interested!

I'm in Tulsa, OK. And cash pay is $15,700 for me. I was financed through www.prosper.com. Not sure if any of you knew that there is an option to have your physician refer you to a non-profit that provides grants to pay for weight loss surgery. They offer about 15 grants per year. I had already started my journey when I found out.

Do you know the name of the non-profit?

Ronimom, did you ever hear back from Dr Kim's office on pricing for you? Dr Kim did my surgery a little over 3 years ago and he is wonderful in my opinion. The staff is GREAT too! The after surgery support is amazing. Lots of opportunities to get together with fellow Dr Kim patients at support groups, fitness events, monthly Breakfast and dinner get togethers, 5k/10ks, fun events like going dancing, painting, roller skating, etc.

@@ronimom Dr. Clayton Frenzel has a cash price of $10,500 and hiatal hernia price of $3500.00. Both of these options are listed on his website.

True Results has similar prices as Dr Frenzel for both options.

Dr. David Kim is a little more, around $15,000 cash price and $5,000 hiatal hernia price.

@@BrownEyedTxGirl - Thank you for the information. I could not find the pricing information on Dr. Frenzel's page, but I sent them a message via their website.

I contacted True Results (in St. Louis) earlier today but they said I only qualified (insurance-wise) for the lap band. They referred me to another doctor in the area, but I have yet to contact him.

I also spoke with someone from Dr. Kim's office. They did not mention the hiatal hernia option and quoted me a price around $14,000. She said the special on their website ($4900) is generally for local people because it requires 4-5 office visits. I am 5-6 hours away from them. She is going to look into my insurance and get back with me later this week.

I will continue to look around. I was set to go to Mexico until I read about the hiatal hernai option. Since my PCP has told me I have a hiatal hernia, I was hoping this might be my solution to stay in the US. We shall see!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      April Surgery

My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
