Self Payers in Florida



Recommended Posts

Dr wizman did my sleeve may 26 last year. was self pay, 10,600. Best thing I've ever done. Am down 138 pounds from surgery and 170 pounds total from heaviest. Wizman was fantastic and what you pay for you get a lot (hospital nights etc). I didn't get a single follow up bill like you do with insurance normally, from anyone

Dr Kenneth Tieu in the Viera Hospital health first ... really good experience, I did self pay but they billed my insurance for all my blood work nutritionist and other test needed ... it's 14500. And u can pay half and make payments for the rest

I'm self pay and don't think I'm going to be able to get away with just the sleeve. I've lost all the weight before, kept it off for over a decade and then gained it back and nothing I used to do works anymore. So, I think I will have to just go with a mini gastric bypass or regular gastric bypass. Cannot afford the $19000 that costs around here, so I will be going to Mexico. Not a huge fan of that, but, I cannot find any other way. I'm hoping that my regular health insurance will cover if I have complications from my Mexico weight loss surgery. Unfortunately it does not cover weight loss surgery.

I just had a sleeve done by dr Shillingford near boca on Thursday the 20th. Self pay for $10,500 and included 2 nights in hospital . I can’t say enough about how great the doctor and hospital were -I strongly suggest you consult with him. I flew down from NJ to do it and am totally happy with the outcome , walked 2.5 miles today and feel great , am 12 lbs down from last week . I hear nightmare stories about Mexico . Dr Shillingford created a special discount price just to keep self pay people from going to Mexico . Hospital is in margate. I did a consult over the phone

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
