Texas Doctors going to Mexico to do Surgery!!!



Recommended Posts

I had my Labpand surgery done in Mexico. I am a cash pay customer and just could not afford the price of the surgery in the US. I do my aftercare with a Doctor from San Antonio, Dr. Steggeman. According to Dr. Steggeman, at the beginning of next year (January 2010), he and 8 other surgeons from Texas will be offering to do surgeries in Mexico. So that cash pay customers can have the cheaper cost associated with surgery in Mexico, but still use a US doctor.

These 8 doctors will be doing a rotation in Cancun, Mexico. Lapband patients will stay three days, and Bipass patients will stay five days.

They will be using a hospital that has the same standards as a US hospital. Just the labor and materials cost in Mexico allow them to charge much less for the surgery.

Just thought I would share:smile:.
