wow! Mexico is looking better and better.

May I ask why you didnt go back to Ortiz to do your sleeve?

May I ask what you all are being charged? When I checked out his website it was around $9-10,000. Is that right?

I would say that I threw my back out.

Thanks T.O.D., that really is a pretty sweet deal!

I actually looked at one surgeon (Cervas) prob didn't spell that right, but it was almost 10,000. If I'm going to spend anything over 8 or 9, I'll probably stay in the states. I actually had a boob job done in Costa Rica, so I'm no stranger ot Medical Tourism.

Hi ladies/dudes! I am just starting this journey and am trying to do a little shopping around in the event BCBSNC will not pay. My BMI is around 33-34 and I have high cholesterol and (possibly) type II diabetes. I found a surgeon near Charlotte that charges 11,800 for sleeve but wanted to get some ideas from those of you that have looked around. Travel is not going to be an expense factor as I have plenty of frequent flyer miles and Hilton hotel points to take me anywhere. I travel to Columbus, OH at least every 6 weeks or so anyway so that might be an option.
