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!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
