:glare:Hey Guys!

I am living in New Zealand believe it or not and I am looking at ALL options for weightloss surgery.

It is very expensive here around about $20,000NZD (Which maybe in american isnt all that much but here it is!) and so I am just seeing if there are other options and have stumbled across this site and found you all talking about Dr Aceves.

So my question is:

WHAT IS THE FINAL PRICE??!!:lol0:(for gastric sleeve)

You say its alot cheaper than u.s prices etc etc and it even includes a 3 day resort stay etc etc I am very interested to know what this exact price is.

If anyone can let me know what they paid all inclusive of everything, I would be very appreciative.

Thanks!!!

Hi Star and welcome!

Dr. Aceves total cost is $9500USD for first time sleevers (meaning not a revision). That price includes all pre-tests, one night in a resort, the surgery, the anethesia, and 3 nights in the hospital, all medication and all post-op tests. You also get a copy of your blood work, your chest x-ray, your GI xray and your operative report when you check out of the hospital. It also includes transportation from San Diego to Mexicali and Mexicali to San Diego. He is running a special for July of $8950.

Hey there - I'm at the hospital in Mexicali now. It was $8750 all inclusive - which is a special for the month of July. I'm in day three. It includes pick up from San Diego, one night in a resort here in Mexicali, all bloodwork, testing, surgery, hospital, everything - and a two weeks supply of Nexium. (You have to have Nexium for at least the first 3 months. It can be pricery.)

The first two days were really hard - I wasn't prepared for it to be this difficult. If you get it, I really do recommend having someone come with you if you can. I came alone and regret it somewhat.

Sorry you had a difficult go of it -- I didn't have any trouble in the hospital at all; I walked alot and that seemed to help the gas move around ... of course it can be rather boring if you don't have a companion go with you.

Oh yeah- the night in the resort includes your companion, too and they can stay in the hospital with you the entire time for no extra charge.

Hmmmm $9000USD is roughly around about $14,400NZD by the time you add flights and extras to that theres probably not much point leaving my country for it.

Thats such a shame, although I can definately see why Americans are choosing to do it that way, considering its almost less than half the price.

How lucky you are!

I am sorry to hear you're having a difficult time. I went alone and the only problem I had was boredom. Thank goodness Dr. Campos loaned me his lap top.

I hope you are able to find a good surgeon within your price range.

I wasn't bored, all I wanted to do was sleep, sleep and sleep some more!

That's how I am now ... if I make it to 9:30 I'm doing good ... and I used to go to bed at midnight and get up at 5 ... now I go to bed about 9;30-10 and fight myself to get up at 6 ... and I sleep through the night
