ISO reasonable cash pay revision



Recommended Posts

I had lap band surgery in 2014 with moderate success. It got me down from 265 to 220 in six months. My weight stayed stable for about 4 years until I had to have the Fluid let out due to being unable to swallow anything. Since then my weight has been slowly creeping cack up again.

My insurance does does not cover Bariatric surgery. I paid $10k for the band and will have to self pay to revise. I am trying to find someone who has had good experience with a reasonably priced doctor that performed a band to VSG revision. I am in the Midwest and would prefer to stay in the US but will travel.

Thank you.

Hello! You can call ALM in San Diego. Surgery is done in Tijuana, MX. I had my sleeve done there and they're excellent! In fact, there was a gentleman there having just that done while I was there. He was doing great after day 2! I think you'll also find their prices about half of what it costs here and you get to stay in a 5 star resort after the procedure! The contact's name is Janese, phone number is 714-516-8193. Email janese@ALM.com Good luck!!

      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!!
