Voting begins May 12th for Dr. Kim's weight loss surgery give away.

TLC Edge here in Dallas, TX is $9990. They have Steven Hamn as one of their surgeons and he is very well respected.
I will also be a self pay if I do not win Dr. David Kim's free weight loss surgery giveaway.
I was selected as one of 10 finalists for this. I pray I win as my husbands employer exludes WLS from our insurance:(

Just wondering how long u had your band, and what kind of problems u had with it???

As far as surgery in Mexico, there are some excellent surgeons...........but they charge more of course. One particular Dr. in Mexico is extremely cheap...........and he is the one to stay away from! I have been researching VSG in Mexico for some time now.

I am researching the gastric sleeve and have several surgerons recruiting since I have been asking about costs.  I am a cash pay, I need to know what dr is the best for the money and whay dr to stay away from.

Thank you

Try Dr. Dennis Smith in Marietta. He has self pay rates. PM  AtlantaLaura. She had her vsg self pay w/ him.

 

 

Do you naeed a gall bladder remived or anything?  Can you get insurance to pay the or fee and you pay the diference ?  *wink*

 

 

Also did you know you can negotiate a lower self pay fee.  If you compare the cost w/ other surgeons in comparable hospitals the surgeon and hospital will sometimes redude their fee.  Also try to negotiate some of your follow up visits into the deal.
