I did. My out of pocket was just under $12,000. It varies depending on where you live. I'm in Colorado. My biggest worry was that I would have some sort of complication that would add even more to the cost. Almost a month out from surgery now and so far, so good!

The surgeons I consulted with in Los Angeles were going to charge me between $29,000 to $35,000 since I didn't meet insurance eligibility requirements. Instead I drove down to Tijuana and had the VSG for $4200 with an excellent surgeon. No regrets.

I was self pay and it was around $12,000 and that included complication insurance and all follow up visits with surgeon. Luckily my grandmother let me borrow the money and I pay her back monthly. Best decision ever!!!
