Anyone self pay???

 So I found out yesterday I may be loosing my insurance. Of course I'm only about a month away from my expected surgery date :'(. Has anyone self paid and if so what was your cost? Did you finance it? If so how? 

By law, they have to give you the option of continuing your insurance if you get cut off. Paying a month's insurance out of pocket has to be cheaper than self pay.

I have molina which is a form of medicaid, I don't think that applies does it?

Hi...I am sorry about losing insurance.  I  went to Dr. Pompa in Mexico and paid 12,500 and financed a large portion through mymedical.  She was absolutely great!!! If you have and questions you can email me at [email protected]

 Hey Eric!! How hard was it to get the financing through my medical? 

Yes. My wife and I both had to pay out-of-pocket. We went to the Mexicali Bariatric Center in Mexico. VERY good setup.

We paid $17,500 for the both of us... not counting airfare to get there which was about $500 each for round-trip, Atlanta to San Diego.

We put it on a credit card with a low interest rate for a year. Next year we'll transfer it to another card with a low one-year rate. We should have it paid off by the start of the third year.

That's great your wife and yourself did it together and for a low cost! Who was your surgeon? I call them and they said 11k for RNY

 We had Rodolfo Wilhelmy.

I'm self pay. I am in Mexico right now having vsg in a few hours with doctor Ismael Cabrera. It cost me 4250.00us plus $500.00 for airfare. So far so good. :) I would never be able to afford the 20,000.00 it would have cost in Canada. My girlfriend used the same doctor before so I had a good supporter. I came alone to save money on flights and so my husband could also stay with our kids :). Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. I can give a better final review tomorrow.

 Good luck Angie! That's a great price!! I'm interested in RNY, do you know their prices? Touch back and let me know how it went :)
