How much did you pay in Mexico?



Recommended Posts

As you know, I was banded by Ortiz after doing a lot of research on him & I was VERY happy with him. My incisions look like scratches now on my tummy and I'm only 8 days out!!! :D I paid $9500 and that included stay @ the hotel and all the med charges. Fortunately I live in So Cali about 1 hour north of MX so I didn't have to pay travel fees too. I definitely think he is worth the $! I just weighed myself and I've lost 15 lbs since last week!!! Whoo-hoo!!! :P

Hi:

I finally did it. My surgery is scheduled for Nov 4th. Unfortunally my insurance or medicare in Canada won't cover it. I had just finish paying off my credit and now I am deep againg with the surgery ($15.000 cnd).

For years I have struggeled with my weight and I thik is time for me to get some help.

I guess the count is on....I keep second guessing myself as if I made the right choice, lets hope I have.:)

I have read many great stories out there and I hope mine becomes one of those.

By the way how do you get the cute images that help you keep track of your weight, etc on your e-mail?:)

Thanks for the support!

MKFENN,

Are you having the surgery in Canada or in Mexico? I'm curious to know more if you've selected Canada.

Thanks and best of luck!

I am going to Dr. Sanchez at the end of this month. I am paying $8,000 and transportation. There are several doctors in Mexico that get great reviews. Check it all out and choose what works best for you.

      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?

      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.
