I’m wanting weight loss surgery but I don’t have health insurance. I’m from Houston,TX. Can anyone suggest a doctors office that offers affordable payment options for their procedures?

I had my surgery in Tijuana, Mexico. In researching places to go, there are many p,laces that are affiliated with credit/ loan programs. My friend used this method for her surgery. They did pull her credit and after approved she now has monthly payments to make.

I do not know the company that she used for financing. But she found the option for financing on the Obesity Control Center website.

I hope that helps.

It depends on your STATS: weight etc. There is a DR that does WLS's in Texas. He does surgeries on the larger sized people. He is on TV also. I think he is a pretty good Surgeon and he is a NO CRAP taker. LOL His name is DR. NOW, I can't say or spell his last name but you can look him up under "My 600# Life. Maybe this won't help you but I thought I would throw it out there. Also, the company that my hubby went thru had payment plans. I would not suggest them. It is BELITE. Don't go to Juarez, Mexico please!!! If you are interested I can give you the low down on it. Have a great Sunday!!

I live in San Antonio and just arrived to Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, where I will be having my surgery. Total price will be around $5,000 out of pocket. There is also a really good surgeon in Piedras Negras, Coahuila who operated on my cousin and got great results... that doctor runs you about $9,000 however. Hope this helps! :)

I also live in Houston, my surgeon is Dr.Galileo Villareal in Nuevo Laredo, MX, a 5 1/2 hr drive from Houston. Today is my surgery at 9 am. I paid $4099 total included lodging & hospital stay for 2 days. I'll be home on Sunday. My doc is awesome!!! My insurance did not cover this surgery, so I did some research into Bariatric surgery and found him through an agency. Say a prayer for me, I go in to surgery at 9am.
