From the first visit, all the specialist's co-pays; what insurance did not
cover and the hospital would not eat and the surgery mine was about
31,000.00 dollars.

Depends upon your doctor and the hospital. I think it's typically about
$25,000. Check with your surgeon as most of them have special programs for
cash paying patients.

Also, consider bartering with your surgeon. My friend has no
hospitalization insurance and had to have a hip replacement. Her husband is
a carpenter and he did some carpentry work for the surgeon in exchange for
his wife's surgery.

It is completely dependant on the surgeon. Some don't even have cash pay
discounts, but for those that do, the price range can vary significantly.

fiananing.

I was supposed to have RNY in the Dominican Republic for right at 11,000.
for everthing.. Doctor, hospital, anesthesia (sp) and hotel. My total stay
was one week. I ended up changing my procedure to the sleeve for my medical
conditions.. he was afraid my hernia may be in the part of intestines that
needed to be rerouted and would cause further complications. I am very
pleased and would be happy to answer any questions you may have. I had the
sleeve procedure on 6/17/2009 and have lost 97lbs thus far, Good luck and
don't give up I went thru this for 6 years before we were able to self pay!

I had complications, an allergic reaction to the anti blood clotting
medication they give as standard procedure. Blood clot in the abdomen made
it necessary for surgeon to go in a second time the next day. Between
doctors and hospital, approximately $90,000.

I live in Monterrey, Mexico, (Baptist Missionaries), and Dr. Roberto
Rumbaut did mine. It cost $14,000 back in April 2009. However he just
cuoted my sister the price of $13,000 for next March. He is an excellent
doctor...one of the top in his field. He does the lapband for $4,000 I
believe, although I am not very sure about this amount. You can look him
up online. Just Google Roberto Rumbaut Monterrey Mexico. Very impressive.
I hope the best for you. Oh, I believe his price includes the hotel where
you will be staying...first class. My sister will be staying with me,
so...
