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I have researched, but find all sorts of different costs and many could be out of date so I was hoping someone could advise me how much I'll need to see a good Dr in Mexico from Toronto.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.

        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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
