css95 0 Posted August 20, 2008 Sweety: I see you live in Texas, what about Mexico? I live in So. Calif. I was banded in Mexico, And going to have PS in Jan. Feb. in Mexico. The cost for Tummy, Breast Reduction and my arms. $10,000.00 I have spoke to other that have has PS in Mexico and the are very happy. It really seems that they really care more, maybe it is just me. I will be 150 LBS then, he even said that if I lose more than that, I will need more sugery, you know sagging skin. After I reach 150, me and mt DH believe that would be perfect. Anyway have you checked Mexico? I guess it is not for everyone, but if you give them a chance you would change your mind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frangipani 1 Posted August 21, 2008 I had my Lap Band done in Mexico and I know that there are some fine Dr.'s there, but the thing that is really bothering me right now about Mexico is the crime problem. In fact, I just read this morning that kidnappings are up nearly 10% this year alone. Mind you many of these kidnappings involve wealthy Mexicans, but this problem spiraling out of control indicates to me that the crime situation is deteriorating rapidly there and the government is somewhat powerless to get it under control at this time. Police corruption is a huge problem there -- understandable when you have an underpaid police force in a poor country and wealthy drug/crime lords willing to pay HUGE bribes, a very bad combo indeed. The Mexican people are some of the sweetest, nicest people on the planet and I have nothing but good things to say about my bariatric surgery experience in Mexico, but if you do decide to travel there at this time, be very careful............
