Cost? I'm sure this has been answered before...

I went surgery shopping because I am a self pay. Cheapest and best deal overall was Mexico, Dr. Ortiz. Husband was concerned about recourse if anything happened ( I doubt it ) and the doctor being in another country ( not my issue ) so we met in the middle and I went with Dr. Kirshenbaum in Denver. My surgery is in 18 days. My reservations are made and even with car rental and hotel and flight, I'm still saving money. Locally, I was quoted $15K to $20K.

I went to mexico for my surgery and had no problem finding a aftercare Dr. My Dr. gave me a list of Dr's to call the first one I talked with said no problem. Yes you do have to fly back to Mx for your fills but for me it was still less expensive. If you book like 14 days ahead flight cost is like $200. rt from Spokane to San Diego for me, check your flight costs and compare. Dr. picks up at airport does fill w/ flouro and takes you back to airport. all in one day.

No, Mexican banding is self-pay.

Go to Dr. Curry. I have free fills and can fly back to Mexico for 250.00 bucks but I drive 5 hours each way to see him and it's 150.00 for fills. It's well well worth the drive. He has such wonderful bedside manner, very skilled at bands, fills, and bypass surgery and is a sweetheart as well. I highly recommend him.
