I got banded in mexico in 2008. I went to beliteweight.com At the time it was $7,000 for everything except airfare. The surgery was done in Tijuanna mexico. I didnt fly into TJ because it cost more money for the plane ticket .I went to San Diego. The people had a special van pick us up and take us to the hospital to have the sergery.I LOVED the treatment I recieved there. The hospital was very clean even better than the hospitals here in the states. Give them a call and they have a web site as well for you to see the hospital and see the surgen's certific's and everything.
