I also know a few folks that have gotten it done out of country to save money cause their insurance didnt pay for it and they had to have it done for themselves.

JUST some more thoughts (((HUGS)))

I have heard of people going overseas to get their obesity surgery done, and the costs are substantially less. It's a big thing for dental work too....quite a few people apparently go to Mexico for that too.

I wonder what the price difference would be between getting it done in the United States before getting it done overseas? Just curious, how much did your friends have to pay and how much did they save by going overseas?
