Hi guys! I had a mini gastric bypass with Dr. Illan in Tijuana on May 16th, 2017. I have officially lost 100 lbs! If anyone here is on the fence about Mexico, I say go for it! It was the best choice I've ever made. If you guys have any questions feel free to ask.

You look incredible! I am to months post op and can't wait to get to where you are. I do have a question as my mom is wanting to have the surgery now as well but her medical won't cover it. Did you pay out of pocket in Mexico and if you did do you mind me asking what the total amount was?

I paid around $6100 for a mini with a high BMI. But I believe it is different depending on your exact circumstances. Sleeves are cheaper but I 100% recommend a mini. I was not going to chance having to revise a sleeve.
