Post Date: 1/16/12 12:21 pm I am looking to get either the Lapband or Verticle Sleeve in, or around Nashville as soon as possible. I don't have insurance and my credit's not good enough to get a loan. I can pay upwards of $5000-6000 cash as a downpayment if I could find someone willing to finance the surgery.
I've been heavily considering Mexico, specifically Dr. Ortiz at ObesityControlCenter (very highly rated), but, I'm concerned with this route for a few reasons. I wouldn't have free support group access, nor would I have access to Fills at a decent price. I know Dr. Houston will take me for fills, but since I wouldn't be his patient.. the charge is downright insane (650 the first fill, 400 after that).
I'm stuck between a rock and a hardplace with this decision. But coming up with $12K-15K just isn't an option.
