Question:
Hi, I heard of a Bariatric Hospital in California that if you are a Self Pay...

They cover any complications for the next 90 days... costing appx 27,000. Does anyone know what the name of this is???    — Karen Wyatt (posted on January 10, 2003)

You might check Pacific Bariatric. They are a big one here in California. Some Kaiser patients from Sacramento are sent there--to San Diego. Good Luck with you search.

Alvarado Hospital accepts self pay, but I am not sure of the cost or coverage.

Have you ever considered going out of the country? I Self Paid in Brazil. $8000 for the Dr. and hospital + airfare and hotel. You can have it all done for about $10,000! We have a yahoo group [email protected] Check out the files section for a list of his qualifacations! He is getting quite a few Americans down there, and the care is just as good or better than you would receive here in the states! Good luck to you! Jackie
