I paid $8300 at the Lite and Free program in Monterrey Mexico. It includes lifetime fills from the doc and 2 years of fluroscopy from the hospital.

Great service. Good friends of mine. I dont think that I would trust anybody else to touch me. They are that good.

The president, Andres is banded. His patient coordinators, Melissa and Violet, are both repeat customers of his (banded and other various procedures) also.

$12,700 in Utah, includes one year of fills and other post-op care. Extra $3,000 or so if you have it done in a hospital.

I'm being banded May 5th by Dr. Ortiz in TJ Mexico http://www.obesitycontrolcenter.com/

$8,500 (have to book by the end of May to get the special price) includes the following:

The cost of the procedure includes the following services:

<DIR><DIR>Three surgeon team – all of our surgeries are assisted by surgeons including an anesthesiologist.

Two day stay at the Hospital where your surgery is performed.

Operating Room Costs

All Preoperative Evaluations

Lap Band Implant

Two nights at a 5 Star Hotel (5 nights in Cancun)

Transportation to and from the Airport

Free Fill Adjustments and Follow up care (additional fee for fluoroscopy)

Now if I had it done here in the US, Dr. Grossbard in Zephyrhills FL (20 min from where I live) http://floridaobesitysurgical.com would cost me $24,500 for the same type of care and doctor.

Dr Ortiz banded and taught Dr. Grossbard the Lap Band ;) and they did do surgeries together in the Cancun facility until a storm messed up their hospital.

Going to Dr. Sanchez in Monterrey, Mexico. He has performed over 5000 procedures. He offers several different packages, but I opted for $8500 'Ruby' Package. His site is www.ready4achang.com Good luck!

      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.
