de la garza? I considered him and the molding clinic...but Ive read some really bad things about both of them. Im not sure if Im allowed to say that..but now Im sort of worried.

Anyway, I paid 7800 for my surgery at obesitygoodbye.com. My partner paid 8,600 at the same place 2 years ago.

$13,500 -- Dr. Lopez -- Rosarito, Mexico at Sanoviv Medical Institute www.sanoviv.com

You can get the surgery for less it was that much for me because of the facility I used. Rosarito is about an hour from TJ.

If I had it to do over and know what I know now I would go with Dr. Helmuth Billy in Ventura, CA. Not sure what the charge is if you self-pay with him.

Pretty funny Jenna. You beat him to it. LOL!!!

$11,010.77 so far. That does not include the hospital bill. for some reason I have not received a bill from them yet. I have insurance (Medicare) so my cost was $1089.06.

This includes all the pre test and Dr. visits also. ie, psychiatric eval, nutritionist and so on.

My surgery was in Flagstaff, Arizona by Dr. Robert Berger

mine was approx 17,000 but, I only paid 150.00 consultation fee. John Deere paid for my surgery and all my fills for a full year. Of course my hubby's company changed insurance companies when I still had a few months of my contract left :) but, I was lucky to get the surgery taken care of.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
