My sister and I went to Mexico and had surgery together. She paid $4100, I paid $5100 ( different drs., different prices). That was for hotel, and total hospital stay, supplies and surgeon. Our flights for both less than $350. Excellent service!!! So many Americans and Canadians are doing it. Didn't have to go through the hoops like you do in U.S.

My surgery is scheduled for 1/11/17, so I haven't been yet, but through MUCH research I chose Dr. Fernando Garcia at Tijuana Bariatrics. He has done 8000+ sleeves, great reviews, and does the procedure in a hospital that is new, and has an accredited ICU just in case there is complications. $4490 includes transportation to and from airport, 3 nights at Tijuana Marriot (1 is night before surgery), 2 nights hospital, and a dietician we will always have access to. I have been super impressed with Lanelle, his patient coordinator. Answered a ton of questions, a sleeve patient herself losing 116, and made it easy to complete scheduling. Hope that helps!

I chose Dr. Cabrera at Mexico Bariatric Center. He was awesome, new Hosp, cost includes to and from airport Transportation, dietician, hotel 3 nights stay and 2 days post surgery shopping excursion. Yep you go shopping downtown Tiajuana, they will help you haggle prices too! Oh also cost includes post surgery Dr. Visit at hotel! Check out their website, they sometimes run monthly specials and buddy discounts. The nurses were awesome as well. While shopping 2 day post surgery I met 3 other Americans who were post op from other hospitals. This is common.

Do your research. Each doctor has different charge, mostly due to experience. If you choose Mexico Bariatric Center,you'll meet wonderful staff that have had surgery with pics to prove it.

Good luck and God bless.

Also their ARE webinars from dietician on you tube. Let me know if you choose this group. I would like you to say I refered you. I get bonus for this. Msg me if you do. ( not trying to be tacky)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
