wow 16000 usd. what it that a billion canadian. makes me wish i thought of this when our can dollar was higher lol. the surgeon i am prob going with is dr.kuri in tj. 7500 usd. so about 10500 canadian. i am usuing my airmiles for the flight to san diego from vancouver so that will save some money. if the prices was closer i prob would choose to go with a local doc but it is a 5000 diffence. yeah i wish we had coverage. bc med doesn't pay for this surgery but does for the more expensive gastric bypass. it doesn't really make financial sense to me but i guess the gov't has to spend my tax dollars on something lol. good luck

hi i am prob going to go with dr.kuri in tj. cost is $7500. certainly less expensive than in bc. the only issue is to find a fill doctor in victoria or vancouver who is willing to do fills

hi arizona, it can be around $150000 to have the surgery in bc. and the waitlist can be up to 2 years. bummer that i have to go to mexico but this is an investment in me and my future health. i am thinking of dr.kuri in tj for the doc. any info or experiences you would like to share is appreciated. thanks
