has anyone done the gastric sleeve surgery in Celebration, Fl? I'm wondering about private pay costs bc my insurance doesn't cover bariatric services. Sorry if this is an inappropriate question.

Check around your area for weight loss surgery clinics. Some of them do informational seminars and they will help you do things like check for insurance coverage and find financing. I haven't added all the costs up, but I think my surgery would have been $30-45k without insurance.

If you're willing/able to travel to Mexico, I believe you can get the surgery done for around $5k down there. I have heard that the quality of care is comparable to the quality of care you'd get here. I can't give a first-hand opinion on that, though.

Good luck!

My insurance did not cover and I went to Mexico for my surgery.  I paid $4400.00 plus airfare.  If you are not willing to go to Mexico, check around different areas in the states.  I know some doctors in Texas are around $9000.00 and one in North Carolina I found was $13000.00, so check around.
