Price Of Surgery In Mexico From Toronto



Recommended Posts

Hi,

I'm 37yrs old and don't know how much I weight. I seem to weigh between 350-400 judging by other peoples pictures. I have been overweight my whole life and have never seen a doctor. Today I did some research about the white deposits on my skin around my eyes and I understand that they are cholesterol deposits. They have been around my eyes for around 6 months or so and can signify a looming crisis.

I'm going to see a doctor ASAP, but I know what the advice will be.

Until I see the Dr, and the results are back, I need to start saving now and would like to know how much money in total it will cost to get the surgery done from Toronto.

I have researched, but find all sorts of different costs and many could be out of date so I was hoping someone could advise me how much I'll need to see a good Dr in Mexico from Toronto. I've been bouncing around the idea for years after failed diet attempts, but now it's time and I'm serious to go ASAP, but need accurate pricing and hidden costs fees up front just so I can book ASAP.

Thanks for any help,

Good for you for realizing you are in crisis. I have read that many people have gone to Mexico with good results. Have you thought about getting it done in Toronto so you can be close to home and have appropriate aftercare. Before going out of country, you will need to find a dr in TO who will take you on and do your fills. That could be difficult and costly as each fill costs.

I am having mine in Sudbury (am sure pricing is same elsewhere) and it is $16,000 all in, patient for life, all fills, unfills and if there are any complications or the band needs to be removed, they will do it. I don't live close to Sudbury but because of family and recovery I choose to go there. I can't find a dr in my city to do fills from another surgeon so have to travel.

Do your homework, with the most important thing being your aftercare. Many people have to go in for fills/unfills for 12 months before they are good to go.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
