I paid $8300 at the Lite and Free program in Monterrey Mexico. It includes lifetime fills from the doc and 2 years of fluroscopy from the hospital.

Great service. Good friends of mine. I dont think that I would trust anybody else to touch me. They are that good.

The president, Andres is banded. His patient coordinators, Melissa and Violet, are both repeat customers of his (banded and other various procedures) also.

$12,700 in Utah, includes one year of fills and other post-op care. Extra $3,000 or so if you have it done in a hospital.

I'm being banded May 5th by Dr. Ortiz in TJ Mexico http://www.obesitycontrolcenter.com/

$8,500 (have to book by the end of May to get the special price) includes the following:

The cost of the procedure includes the following services:

<DIR><DIR>Three surgeon team – all of our surgeries are assisted by surgeons including an anesthesiologist.

Two day stay at the Hospital where your surgery is performed.

Operating Room Costs

All Preoperative Evaluations

Lap Band Implant

Two nights at a 5 Star Hotel (5 nights in Cancun)

Transportation to and from the Airport

Free Fill Adjustments and Follow up care (additional fee for fluoroscopy)

Now if I had it done here in the US, Dr. Grossbard in Zephyrhills FL (20 min from where I live) http://floridaobesitysurgical.com would cost me $24,500 for the same type of care and doctor.

Dr Ortiz banded and taught Dr. Grossbard the Lap Band ;) and they did do surgeries together in the Cancun facility until a storm messed up their hospital.

Going to Dr. Sanchez in Monterrey, Mexico. He has performed over 5000 procedures. He offers several different packages, but I opted for $8500 'Ruby' Package. His site is www.ready4achang.com Good luck!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
