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've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
