Congratulations! I just had a conversion from sleeve to Roux en y on 7/7/2020 because of gerd.

I was at BWH - nurses and everyone was great.

I figured there should be at least one new post per year on the MA board.

Topic: RE: Total Cost

You will find a huge range of prices for self pay. I see numbers of 15 to 20 thousand for hospitals around the US, if you negotiate ahead of time. A lot of folks that are self pay go to Mexico, where there is excellent quality of care, and the price is more in the $6,000 range.

The only way to tell at a particular hospital and doctor is to get prices directly from them.

Topic: Total Cost

Hi:

I am wondering if anyone knows the total cost, assume I am paying all out of pocket, for the Sleeve procedure at Southcoast Health?

A ballpark would work?  I am just now researching my options.

I'd still talk to them.  You won't be the first (or the last) in this situation.

Wow -- thanks for letting me know! I think I'm kind of afraid to see Dr. Partridge again. I had my surgery in 2010 and did so well for a few years then the weight started creeping up and I didn't see her. I still have restriction but I'm the first to admit I still love to cook and eat. :(
