It looks like I am going to have to self pay for my gastric sleeve. I live in the San Diego area and have been quoted a price of $22,000 from my doctor. I don't mind traveling a little bit. Possibly Arizona. Anyway was hoping I could get some ideas of prices from other areas for good reputable doctors. Really appreciate any help and advice you can give. Thank you

Holy 22000 that's a lot. I went to Mexico and got better care than I could have ever expected and all costs including airfare doctors nutritionist for 2 years all my meds and the best 24 hour care for be days while I stayed there. I probably spent 4500 total...

Lucky you! You have one of the capitals of bariatric surgery at your doorstep. I just droove from Scottsdale, AZ to San Diege for surgery in Tijuana. Could not have been any more delighted with the price, level of cre and the outcome. I used Dr. Elias Ortiz with A lighter Me. they will pick you up at the border, I parked at Border Station next to the big outlet mall. First night in the Grand Hotel (you can google it) and stayed on the "medical" floor. Next day we were taken to the hospital for tests and surgery. Amazing team and nurses who all spoke great English. Release on the third morning and returned to the Grand Hotel where room service included broth, apple juice and popsicles (included). All meds and bandages were also included. Their drivers took us shopping and sightseeing. Amazing trip! Will definately go back for my plastic surgery when I get to goal!

I forgot to mention, the total for my surgery and everything complete $4600.00

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

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. 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?
      Thanks

      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! 😞
