Self pay?

Did anyone elect to self pay for the gastric sleeve and how much did that cost?

My BMI is 38 but I have minimal health issues. Not sure if insurance will approve me...

I did self pay. Same bmi. I paid $11,500 in Texas. I understand that some go to Mexico for much cheaper but I was a bit nervous about that.


My Insurance wouldn't cover Bariatric Surgery and Honestly knowing what I know now even if it did I still would choose to go have Dr. Illan with BariatricPal perform my Surgery. My Surgery was $4,900 but that was because I had a high BMI yours would be $4,399. I have never been treated that good in the States. The Great part was one bill no extras and a4 day Vacation.

I self paid with a personal loan. Outside of marrying my husband, it was the best thing I've ever done. There's a bariatric "center of excellence" in Kansas City that is $11k for sleeve. They were amazing. I was far too terrified to travel out of country myself. Lots of people do with great results though.



I self paid, Texas, $10k total. Great investment and I wish I'd done it years ago,



Orlando was $14,254. I went to Dr Illan in Tijuana for $4400



I didnt self pay but got the bill in the mail, if insurance didnt pay id have to pay 34k for sleeve in pa. Thats with a 2 night stay though



I also self paid in Mexico 5999 USD no complications



I was self pay in Newport News VA, 13995

South Florida self pay insurance would not cover 15,000.00


Seattle $23,500.
