Looking For Information And Advice About Having The Lap Band Done In Mexico

I have been researching the lap band procedure since oct 2011. I have visited the slim band clinic, CIBO clinic and the SWLC.

 

My results were down to CIBO 18,000$ AND SWLC16,000$. Then the reality of price kicked in.

 

I'm desperate to loose weight because i'm trying to get pregnant. Im gonna be 39 in august and i really dont have years to play around with. the cost of my fertility treatments alone are around 12,000.00$

 

The plan was to have the lap band done by sept this year, loose a good amount of weight so that i might begin fertiliy treatments around feb/march.

 

I began looking into dr. ortiz in mexico because his price is affordable. but as I have learned no doctor in toronto will offer me fills if i do my surgery outside of canada. I Even began wondering if it would be easier to have the gastric sleeve done.

I would love some feed back from any canadians who had their surgery with Dr. ortiz.

 

Can anyone offer any suggestions

or info about getting fills in buffalo ny

 

Thanks and look forward to any replys

I would recommend getting on the New York specific thread and asking if anyone knows of Dr's who do fills for patients banded elsewhere.

I don't have any info on fill/follow up dr.'s in canada area, but I am going to the most reasonable surgeon in Mexico if interested google Weightlossagents.com Dr. Mario Almanza, the Director of Nursing where I work just got back from there as well, and said she was very pleased (and she's a tough cookie) with her gastric sleeve surgery. I'm being banded by this dr. August 28th as well. Lap band is 3500, gastric sleeve is 4500. Hope this is helpful...
