Mexico - Dr. Aceves - Advice - Travel Partner ?
hakunamatata_ca replied to hakunamatata_ca's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
OHIP coverage on sleeve? Are you sure you don't mean Gastric Bypass? My BMI 36.6 and I didn't think anyone did the sleeve other than in Mexico from everything I've read? What is co-morbs? Where do I find that info ? Thank you so much ! -
those who were banded in mexico

I have received the same from Dr. Kelly TJ for 5500. I am more interested in the sleeve and want feedback from anyone in Canada wanting to go or has been there but I am going to go to Mexicala - Dr Aceves I think. Price is the same and he has done far more surgury in this area. Why do people go for the band rather than sleeve? Is it cost? Tempting for that price for sure but like I said I don't think I am going to go with the band if they accept me for sleeve. Why is the Canadian dollar so worthless ? Sure didn't take long to go from at par to 132 for 1 USD ..crap:mad: My timing always was bad :thumbup: -
Congrats Dan! I am considering sleeve also and want to find who does surgury's? I got a reply from one Doc. (Kelly) but who else will do these? I don't see it on Dr. Ortiz site. Any recommedations? I am in Canada. Thanks and keep up great work and keep me posted on progress please :w00t:)

Hi Hanbe
I am just new in researching all this and from Ontario. Where did you get your procedure done etc. How is it going. I am looking into all options. Sure wish I could get part coverage somehow. BMI 36.2 and really want this. 16,000 in Miss or T.O. Reading about Mexico but not too sure for aftercare on that one. Can you give me some opinions if you have a chance. I would really appreciate it. I am 3.5 from T.O and an hr to Ottawa. Thanks - Donna

Hi there ShortC. I live near Ottawa and was wondering if we could chat about the procedure and how your doing now. I am researching places. Are you getting fills and coverage in Ottawa now? Hope you don't mind me asking. I see you have not been on the site for abit. Thank you - Donna

Hi there.. I am also researching options. I am in Ontario Canada and it is 16,000 self pay only. I can go 1/2 hr over border for 16,000 USD but the exchange is not so good. Mexico seems to be ok from all I have read but in the event of issues it's a flight back is my only concern there. The price difference is crazy.I see US people getting coverage somehow. That would be nice. Big decision to make here for sure especially if it ends up having to be removed and start over again with another 16,000? eek. Reading these forums has helped me learn ALOT!

I am not banded but just been looking into all the options and reading a lot. This is the first I have seen about coffee and smoking. What does that mean? I do both regularly:scared2:

OMG what a supportive guy! Not! I am so sorry. Remember this is for you though and your gonna be one hot mama and show him it's what he lost. Not sure how old the kids are but hopefully they will help mom get back on her feet. Mine are kids are better off and it's been 5 yrs. I have not had surgury but am just looking inot it now seriousy but 16,000 wow not sure how I can do that as a single mom. I really want to badly though. You take care of you and make the ex feel sorry to see how wonderful you are! :laugh: -
I wish you all the best. I am just looking into this now and new here. I was hoping to find info from someone in Ontario as that is where I am. How much did this cost for you where you are? Good luck!!
