    Default Anyone ever had to pay the eztra 1,000 for a high BMI?

    I'm having surgery in 14 days. I remember reading somewhere that if your bmi is too high they might charge you an extra $1,000 in mexico for the gastric sleeve. I'm 409 and 5 got 5 inches. Very worried because I saved up just enough money for the surgery.

    That sounds extraordinary !!! I'd give them a call, I can't see why they would do that. Call them and set your mind at rest.

    I would not be satisfied with such an answer.
    Yes or no please.
    With exact numbers.
    English is not my first language anymore, so I may and do make mistakes in my spelling, or say things oddly. Please ask me, if you want any clarifications.

    Yes. That's why I'm worried. I might try and ask again. I need sleep. I'm hoping somebody on here is around my weight and has had the surgery in Mexico.

    I would definitely call back and demand exact answers. I would tell them that you have enough for the regular price of surgery so if it is going to be more than that you cannot afford it. I did see on his website there are before and after pics and one lady started at 404 lbs. It says you can click on the picture to contact them. Maybe you can do that?
