St Lukes or Memorial Hermann in The Woodlands. Both are world class hospitals. Only two hospital days for VSG!

You will have the cost of air fares here too - probably two trips - but if you plan out a few weeks its not so bad.
Psyc and nut done already. Plane fares negligible cost in the big picture if I'm saving $12,000. No wonder health care costs are out of control...
