de la garza? I considered him and the molding clinic...but Ive read some really bad things about both of them. Im not sure if Im allowed to say that..but now Im sort of worried.
Anyway, I paid 7800 for my surgery at obesitygoodbye.com. My partner paid 8,600 at the same place 2 years ago.

$13,500 -- Dr. Lopez -- Rosarito, Mexico at Sanoviv Medical Institute www.sanoviv.com You can get the surgery for less it was that much for me because of the facility I used. Rosarito is about an hour from TJ. If I had it to do over and know what I know now I would go with Dr. Helmuth Billy in Ventura, CA. Not sure what the charge is if you self-pay with him. Pretty funny Jenna. You beat him to it. LOL!!!

$11,010.77 so far. That does not include the hospital bill. for some reason I have not received a bill from them yet. I have insurance (Medicare) so my cost was $1089.06.
This includes all the pre test and Dr. visits also. ie, psychiatric eval, nutritionist and so on.
My surgery was in Flagstaff, Arizona by Dr. Robert Berger

mine was approx 17,000 but, I only paid 150.00 consultation fee. John Deere paid for my surgery and all my fills for a full year. Of course my hubby's company changed insurance companies when I still had a few months of my contract left :( but, I was lucky to get the surgery taken care of.
