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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
