My friend and I both went for Surgery in December of last year. It was an AMAZING experience. I even went back for my first fill because the team there made me feel very well supported. Do you have any specific questions I can answer for you?

I was banded by Dr. Kuri in Mexico. It was a great experience. They take care of everything, including picking you up at the air port or the border. The hospital was beautiful and very clean. The staff was excellent. I feel like I was treated better there, than I have ever been treated here in the states.

My surgery package was around $7500 but I am not sure what the current rate is. Let me know if you need more info.

My insurance would not cover surgery either. My scheduled was scheduled and set up through Med to Go International and my surgery was performed by Dr. Lopez Corvala at Hospital Angeles in Tijuana. Everything went very well. They picked me up from the airport in San Diego and took us to Tijuana. The hospital was new and modern. Very clean!!! The staff was nice and friendly and everyone was extremely helpful. Let me know if you have any questions. Send me a PM.

I am scheduled to be banded by Dr. Corvala on 6/29/10 at Hospital Angeles in Tijuana. I know that his current price is $5995.00, however mine is more expensive ($7,000) because I am having revisional surgery (lapband over previous gastric bypass). Both prices include pickup at the San Diego Airport, 2 nights in the hospital, drop off back at the aiport and all doctors fees. The only thing not included is your prescription for pain meds/anti-biotics which you pick up at the pharmacy before you leave. Hopefully I can give you more insight after the surgery. Good Luck on your search! :(

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
