My Mom wants to have the lapband, but has no insurance, and is a cash patient. We live in southern california, and I found a few doctors who are willing to do the surgery for 17k, which as a cash patient is too much. Do any one of you guys know a GOOD Dr. that will do it for a cheaper price with financing? I have seen ads for 13k but they are in Florida. Thanks.

Mexico is a great alternative. I would start another thread "surgeons in Mexico" to see what response you get. YOu will save a ton of money and they are very reputable. Good luck.

Dr. Arturo Rodriguez is great. I know many who have used him and I am planning my surgery this summer. If you type in the bariatric, his website will come up.

I was banded by Dr. Ortiz in Tijuana and the cost was $8500. That covered 2 nights in a 5 star hotel, surgery, transportation and 1 night hospital stay. The hospital was awesome and so was the staff and surgeons.
