That is way too much. Here in Houston, site of the worlds largest medical center, is 13,500 for VSG. That is a cash up front price, no fighting with insurance. No waiting. No jumping through hoops. Highly reputable, highly dependable.
If you go the insurance route, it costs the surgeon, hospital, and specialists more since they dont get their money for weeks or months, so obviously will charge more for the procedure. And you will be hassled a lot more.
If you are interested I will give you some names here, including my surgeon. My guy is in The Woodlands, which is really nice upscale place. PM me if interested.
