I'm 60 & thinking of getting sleeved in late January or early February,I will self pay so I'm going to Mexico to have it done. I'm from northern Canada & it costs $18,000 here. I'm nervous about that because I will be coming back to Arizona to recouperate as we spend some of the winter there. I have health insurance in Canada but not in Arizona for any complications from the operation. My hubbie said he would fly me home if I becam sick. I'm waiting for my cardiologist to clear me for surgey as I hav had a heart attack in 2008. So glad I fo this site. Anyone else that went to Mexico,I sure love to hear your experience. Thanks.
