rebecca_dsu 241 Posted May 28, 2013 So Mexico? dang. How much is the surgery there? I was self pay here as well. It is $8,750 total. My quote from the local bariatric center here was $17,500 and that didn't include the $1,000 initial consultation. Even with the $1,000 for flights for my husband and I, it's still almost half the price of having it done locally How much was yours down in Gulf Port??
