Gastric Bypass or Sleeve Prices in Mexico



Recommended Posts

Long story, short. I have an initial consult in the US for weight loss surgery on Friday. I'm 6'2, 255-260 lbs. I don't think I'm going to qualify because I'm a little below 35% BMI and only condition is high blood pressure. If I am, insurance will pay completely. So, I've been doing research for doctors in Mexico. Approved at BariatricPal Hospital MX with Dr. Illan and Angeles Health International with Dr. Lopes Corvala. Dr. Corvala shows a price of $10,950 for the gastric Bypass travel package. No price with Dr. Illan yet. I guess my questions are what would be the right surgery for me and what kind of prices are every one seeing. I don't want to skimp on this type of life changing surgery, but still have to watch the budget and if that means waiting, I'll have to wait.

If you have any co-morbidities (sleep apnea, diabetes, etc) there's a good chance your US surgeon might be able to get your insurance to cover your surgery. You sound like the perfect candidate for a Gastric Sleeve. I'd discuss the surgery types that are good for you with whichever surgeon you select and go with the option that you both agree on.

You can view all surgery pricing with Dr. Illan at https://bariatricpalhospitalmx.com/weight-loss-surgeries

Gastric Sleeve: $4600

MGB: $5700

Gastric Bypass: $6000

DS: $6400

Dr. Illan is a top notch surgeon. He did my MGB. Plus the hospital and staff were better than any care I received in the states.

I am below my goal by 5 lbs. Smaller than even in high school. I feel great and if I ask Dr. Illan a question he always answers.

Dr. Illan will be performing my own MGB in 7 days!

I would love to hear how everything went and your progress afterwards. Keep me updated!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
