Hello. I am going to Mexico tomorrow for my lap band. Research Obesity Control Center. I live in California and grew up just miles away from the Mexico border, even went over to pay every weekend when I was 18 lol. It's a lot cheaper there and dr ortiz travels across the world teaching and learning. I was afraid because I was going to Mexico but its not deep into Mexico it's right over the border. Its $5000 for the lap band, or I.was going to go to arizona and pay a little over 10,000. I prayed about it because I didn't know if I should get it or where should I go get it and the next few days I met a girl on thinner times forum who went to dr ortiz in Mexico and had the lap band done this pass july. She had nothing but great things to say. $5000 pays for your cost of surgery and one night at the Marriott hotel. And they pick u up from the border, or air port and from hotel to the center. Check it out and read the testimonies of the people, I thought they were fake testimonies until I actually met my new friend. Good luck

It all depends where you live. I'm in South, Florida and it ranges from 7k to 20k. However, most places here have specials all the time, especially if your self paying. Example: You can find a price from a well known doctor at $8,999 with one or two fills at no cost for the first yr, or 16,000 with fills covered for 3yrs to 4yrs...it all depends. Who, Where, and When.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
