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.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
