Is anyone going to mexico to be banded in January?

I am a self pay and will be going to Mexico in January. I am having a hard time trying to decide which doctor to use. There are so many and now that it's about to be a new year there are lots of specials. Prices starting at $5500 and up. Maybe i can find a partner to go get banded with.

Peaches:confused:

I went to Mexico in January at the beginning of this year . . . so I am already done and have lost the weight. :0)

I went through Belite Weight and had Dr. Corvala perform the surgery in Tijuana at Hospital Angeles. I had a great experience there and they were very professional - it was a very nice hospital as well.

This may not be the cheapest option, but if you have any questions for someone who has been there and done that, just let me know.

Hi,

I'm just looking for all the info I can get. Did you go alone. How much did you pay and what was all included. Thanks for the info.

I went with my husband, but I think I could have done it alone if I had too. It was nicer to have someone with me to break the monotony . . . although I did sleep alot. There were others there that same day that were alone.

I paid $7,500 and they picked me up at the airport. I stayed in the hospital for 3 nights, but you could stay for 2 and have a free night at the hotel. It was just easy and convenient to stay at the hospital so we stayed, the room was decent and food and meds were provided. Fills are $100 each and includes fluoro. Altogether it was a good economic choice. I could find cheaper rates but I was happy with this doctor's experience and the hospital information so that is why I chose this route.
