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.

Thanks

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.

I am also going to Dr. Ortiz this coming up Wednesday. $8500 for everything. I have looked for weeks for anything negative about Dr. Ortiz and have nothing.......zip....not 1 bad word. He seems to be one of the best.

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!
