I traveled to Mexico for my sleeve, since I was self-pay. It was about $6500 USD, but I went with one of the most expensive surgeons in Mexico.

Which surgeon?

I honestly only met and interacted with my surgeon right before I was wheeled into the OR. He seemed really friendly and put me at ease. But all of my pre and post-op communication was with the on-staff nutritionist, cardiologist, and radiologist. They answered all my nutritional and medical questions. The nutritionist followed up with me regularly to check my progress and make sure I was on track with what I should be eating and taking my Vitamins. And even now, 20 moths post-op, I know I could email and receive a reply within the hour. They also sent me questionaires frequently in the beginning and then further apart asking me things about whether I had and pain or nausea or difficulty getting fluids in. If any of my answers to those questions were cause for concern, then one of the doctors would call me. My PCP has done all of my follow-up blood work and I've sent that back to OCC to keep in my file.

Mine would be $18,000 in Arizona if I get deny by insurance (Lap-band revision to Sleeve). Praying that my insurance will pay.

I'm lucky because in Italy this kind of surgery can be paid by the welfare state (if you are in certain health and economic conditions, evaluated every time ).

I could'nt afford this cost, that is very expensive here too, when self paid.

I'm happy to pay taxes to have a public health system.
