Long story, short. I have an initial consult in the US for weight loss surgery on Friday. I'm 6'2, 255-260 lbs. I don't think I'm going to qualify because I'm a little below 35% BMI and only condition is high blood pressure. If I am, insurance will pay completely. So, I've been doing research for doctors in Mexico. Approved at BariatricPal Hospital MX with Dr. Illan and Angeles Health International with Dr. Lopes Corvala. Dr. Corvala shows a price of $10,950 for the gastric Bypass travel package. No price with Dr. Illan yet. I guess my questions are what would be the right surgery for me and what kind of prices are every one seeing. I don't want to skimp on this type of life changing surgery, but still have to watch the budget and if that means waiting, I'll have to wait.

If you have any co-morbidities (sleep apnea, diabetes, etc) there's a good chance your US surgeon might be able to get your insurance to cover your surgery. You sound like the perfect candidate for a Gastric Sleeve. I'd discuss the surgery types that are good for you with whichever surgeon you select and go with the option that you both agree on.

You can view all surgery pricing with Dr. Illan at https://bariatricpalhospitalmx.com/weight-loss-surgeries

Gastric Sleeve: $4600

MGB: $5700

Gastric Bypass: $6000

DS: $6400

Dr. Illan is a top notch surgeon. He did my MGB. Plus the hospital and staff were better than any care I received in the states.

I am below my goal by 5 lbs. Smaller than even in high school. I feel great and if I ask Dr. Illan a question he always answers.

Dr. Illan will be performing my own MGB in 7 days!

I would love to hear how everything went and your progress afterwards. Keep me updated!

      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.
