Paid cash in Mexico

[breakinout 57]

My sister and I went to Mexico and had surgery together. She paid $4100, I paid $5100 ( different drs., different prices). That was for hotel, and total hospital stay, supplies and surgeon. Our flights for both less than $350. Excellent service!!! So many Americans and Canadians are doing it. Didn't have to go through the hoops like you do in U.S.

Which surgeons did you use? I'm in full on research mode!

My surgery is scheduled for 1/11/17, so I haven't been yet, but through MUCH research I chose Dr. Fernando Garcia at Tijuana Bariatrics. He has done 8000+ sleeves, great reviews, and does the procedure in a hospital that is new, and has an accredited ICU just in case there is complications. $4490 includes transportation to and from airport, 3 nights at Tijuana Marriot (1 is night before surgery), 2 nights hospital, and a dietician we will always have access to. I have been super impressed with Lanelle, his patient coordinator. Answered a ton of questions, a sleeve patient herself losing 116, and made it easy to complete scheduling. Hope that helps!

I chose Dr. Cabrera at Mexico Bariatric Center. He was awesome, new Hosp, cost includes to and from airport Transportation, dietician, hotel 3 nights stay and 2 days post surgery shopping excursion. Yep you go shopping downtown Tiajuana, they will help you haggle prices too! Oh also cost includes post surgery Dr. Visit at hotel! Check out their website, they sometimes run monthly specials and buddy discounts. The nurses were awesome as well. While shopping 2 day post surgery I met 3 other Americans who were post op from other hospitals. This is common.

Do your research. Each doctor has different charge, mostly due to experience. If you choose Mexico Bariatric Center,you'll meet wonderful staff that have had surgery with pics to prove it.

Good luck and God bless.

Also their ARE webinars from dietician on you tube. Let me know if you choose this group. I would like you to say I refered you. I get bonus for this. Msg me if you do. ( not trying to be tacky)
