els 21 Posted July 25, 2016 Kara, I shopped around within NZ and went to Auckland as cheaper there. I did look briefly at Thailand and Australia which weren't any cheaper. To be honest didn't look at Mexico, how much is it there? Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kara10 0 Posted July 26, 2016 What was the price in Auckland? its 10k nz at the Obesity control cdntre in Mexico Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
els 21 Posted July 27, 2016 Hi Kara, $19750 total including pre surgery appointment, 2 nights private hospital, after care, nutritionist appointments, psychologist etc. If it's $10knz in Mexico, add on airfare, pre and post op accommodation, travel insurance. Still cheaper I guess but what if something goes wrong and what about follow up? Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
