Awesome job! I really enjoyed chatting with him. He seemed really nice. Most of people in my area going to Birmingham, but I really like Dr. Boyett. Thanks again.

Yes, I drove 4 hours from KY, had surgery on July 20th. He was great.

Awesome! Thank you. I just went through an online seminar with him a few days ago. Going to call his office today for an appointment. Were you self pay? If so, how much appx was the cost if you don't mind?

Hi Guys,

This is a long shot- but - anyone from Alabama use Dr. Boyett for the sleeve?

Thanks!

I’m in Houston and went to Nuevo Laredo just on the other side of the border. Self pay $4400 total out the door which included hotel, transport, and hernia repair in addition to the sleeve surgery. Dr Galileo Villarreal. Outstanding results.

I have not researched that doctor yet. I will definitely research now! Thank you!

I am in San Antonio, Tx so I might be a bit far for you.

I went to Dr Cárcamo at South Texas Surgeons and spent $9,900 for my sleeve. Self pay made everything super easy, I was able to schedule my surgery for 2 weeks after my initial appointment. The package includes the surgery, anesthesia, about 24 hours of a hospital care, 2 meetings with a nutritionist and a total of 3 or 4 appointments with the doctor afterwards. They are super nice and always available if I have questions.

I got the sleeve four weeks ago and after the initial post surgery discomfort (not pain) I am feeling fine and about 40 pounds down from when I first walked into the place. I'd recommend them to anyone.

Thank you!! I will definitely check into it. It looks like it is about the same pricing as around here, in Alabama. Great job on the pounds lost!

Hi Guys!

I have searched for probably months now. I had my mind made up on going to Tijuana, and getting the gastric sleeve. I have almost talked myself out of it.

I am a small town girl and terrified of going out of state to get the surgery. My husband and support system (family) - they are absolutely amazing.

This is something that I have wanted to do for years, and am now more serious in planning and getting things rolling.

Anyway, if you are from Alabama or surrounding states/and cash pay - Who did you use and what was the total for the surgery? Any feedback is welcome.

I have thought of using Dr Ortiz or Dr Carlos Altamirano in Tijuana but I am still conflicted of the travel.
