Hi Hello Bean,

Sorry, I just saw your message! I had a very positive experience with OCC (Obesity Control Center) in Tijuana Mexico. I was banded by Dr. Ariel Ortiz on 7/3/09. Yes, I flew to San Diego and the OCC sends a driver to pick you (and your guest) up from the airport and gets you across the border and to either your hotel or to the OCC for pre-op testing (if your flight arrives before noon). Dr. Ortiz actually helped to open the Fill Centers USA too! There is an initial consult for the Fill Centers that is about $350, but after that, the fills are $160 (without flouroscopy). Ideally, I would like to have gone back to the OCC for the fills, but it was too expensive to travel that far, and I'd have to be away at least 1 night, so I chose Fill Centers. The closest one to Indy is in Cincinnati, so that's where I go. Good luck!
