I am researching where I want to do the gastric sleeve since I am self pay. I have had a couple doctors quote me anywhere between 11k and 15k here in Florida and a couple of quotes from Mexico that the ad says 5k but people end up paying way more, close to 10k.

My husband said for only a couple thousand difference, he rather me have it here in Fl for 11k. How much was your surgery in mexico??

Thank you

I paid $5500 in May and my surgeon was Dr Kelly in Tijuana MX. The only additional fee was my flight and a little cash to take with me.

I paid 4,500.00 with Dr. Almanza on 5-25-2011.

I also went to Dr. Kelly and paid $5560.00. The extras were flight and some tipping to drivers.. oh, and some spending money.

I too paid $4500 with Dr Almanza at Jerusalem Clinic Tijuana MX, I however no longer recommend this facility due to issues that have developed. This site is chock full of recommendations. of other sites.

If you can get it in the States for that little I would highly recommend taking advantage of it. Be sure to investigate the site, the doctor and get recommendations.

Its not just a couple of thousand cheaper, its almost double to get it in Florida. I went to Dr Ramos Kelly too and I paid $5500. He now charges $5700 I think but still worth it. I spent exactly $5600 after tipping and all. No where near $10,000. Of course you would have airline charges but even that wont be over $1000.00 if you plan ahead. Good luck though whatever direction you take.

I paid 7200 in Mexico- Dr Rodriguez (juarez location)

I paid $5000 for Dr. Fernando Garcia Govea. The only additional was for airfare for two, tips, and souveniers. Total I woudn't say more than $600.

I had surgery with dr Kelly on 09/02 and mine was $5560.00 + 382.00 for airfare and about $100.00 spending money. They even had to get my diabetes under control and cut out some scar tissue from a lap band I had years ago and didn't charge me a dime more.

I paid $8750 to have surgery by Dr. Aceves in Mexicali. I have no support at home, so I wanted the recovery days in the hospital, plus he has a stellar reputation.
