Yeah I know it seems really high...thats what i thought. She said the 15,000 her doctor charged for performing the procedure was not including the hospital stay she was in the hospital for 3 days after and it totaled close to 30K....yikes.

Thank you for the link, i see what you are talking about.

It will take some buttering up but I am sure he will come around. If i want something bad enough and for the right reasons he will eventually give in. How long was your stay? Do they require a certain amount of days before you are able to leave?

I stayed 4 days in Mexico and flew home on the 5th day. Two of those days were spent in the hospital. This was using Medical Tourism. With most coordinating companies, I think the stay is 5 days and flying home on the 6th day.

Crossing the border requires a passport or a passport card. It's the law.

I hope your husband comes around. It really isn't a bad thing going to Mexico for surgery. I know the initial idea of it is scary, however

Many hbariatric dr are not performing the lapband anymore. And those who had the lapband with little or no success are doing a revision to the sleeve.

I am doing great! I hit a little stall. But that is to be expected. I'm down 58 pounds (including pre op). Today makes 7 weeks since my surgery. I can eat everything I've tried with no issues. I had some blood work done just last week. Everything checked out very well. I feel normal like I never had surgery. Hope you doing just as we'll. I can't say enough great things about Dr. Alvarez.

I live on Houston and going to Dr. Alvarez is the best thing I have ever done! I drove into eagle pass (6-61/2 hours) and well worth it! Wouldn't change who I chose for anything! It took me two years to save the $8200 and I am down 93 pounds since last July with 7 to goal, I will be going to Mexico for plastics as well. Questions just ask. - Susie

I am self pay in Houston, going with Dr. Brian Mirza. I talked to several friends who are doctors and read a ton of reviews online and the surgeons in Houston who I would consider to be in the "top tier" (Yu, Scarborough, Mirza, St. Laurent, Ferrari, Davis, Thomas, etc.) were all in the $12,000 - $14,000 range for self pay VSG. A few stated that if the EGD reveals a hiatal hernia, then my insurance may pay a portion of the costs, generally around $2,000 - $3,000.

If it was solely up to me, I would have looked more at the Mexico options, but I would have had a hard time convincing my wife and family that it was safe. Plus I like the continuity of having all my pre-op and post-op care through Dr. Mirza's office.
