Heya!

Why Mexico? At first it was the cost. At just $7500 which included 2 nights stay at the hospital, two nights stay at the hotel, transportation to and from San Diego Airport, and all medical, hospital, and anesthesia it was a price that couldn't be beat here in the USA. Of course I had to pay for my flight from South Florida to San Diego but that was only another $250, a pain medication for after release from the hospital (which I never took) for like $10, and then any food and traveling expenses I still came in under $8000. That was my first reason. But as I did my research I also learned that the surgeon I used was much more experienced in this surgery. For example the local surgeon here has performed about 300 lap-band procedures and pushed gastric by-pass over the lap-band and then Dr. Kuri that I went to in Mexico has performed over 4000 lap-band surgeries. He has been honored by bariatric organizations for his skills and frankly is one of the best in the world.
