No clue on mexico but there are some members here that got it done for around 13k in cash - My ex wife is looking to get it done and i looked at mexico, By the time you book a flight, Hotel and the surgery you only save around 3k. To me the risk is not worth 3k -

Do what my buddy did get a few Credit cards and put it on there then pay it off with the money saved from not eating out and eating as much

Good luck

I've looked at some prices and airfare ... I'm totaling up to around $5,500 and know multiple folks who have had it done. I'm dead set on having this surgery before the end of Feb lol if that means I'm Mexico bound then so be it!!!

Did it Talinn, Estonia. Paid 5000 euros for it. It's about 5000 dollars. Mini gastric bypass with Dr Ilmar Kaur. So not exactly Mexico, but..

Very pleased, no issues except had recently some gallbladder inflamation. Operated on by 9 in the morning, up and about around 14.00. No sick leave, no dumping, no nausea, can tolerate almost every food. Good blood test. Very fine healing of my wounds. All in all, as 3 months out things are much better than anticipated.

I would love the mini bypass but, I'm thinking price wise in mexico the sleeve is my best option! I'm glad you're doing awesome... KEEP IT UP

I was going for the sleeve, but then a professior feelt that with my history the sleeve was a waste for a long lasting result. sO I TOOK THE MGB. No regets.

I think the full gastric is what I need or the mini but they are more expensive

HI India- I went through a place called BeLightWeight, I had the sleeve done in September in Mexico. Total cost was 6800 and extra 50 for meds that I was able to bring home after surgery. Spent about 500 for round trip airline tickets for me and my husband. Belightweight made transportation arrangement from the airport to the hospital (& from the hospital back to the airport) where we both stayed for the entire process. The only thing we had to pay extra was for my husbands meals.

I feel the only negative thing about this was not having the extra support from the doctor or nutritionist (they did send me home with a lot of information and instructions), however my doctor has been great about the whole process and did all my blood work when I got back to see where are my levels were (was low on vit D-) and she has been monitoring me since. And I do/could reach out to the team at BeLightWeight as well with other question and they did call me a few times to check in.

hope you find this helpful...this is my 1st post :)

I have a friend that also had hers done in Mexico and paid less than 4000, which I tried contacting them first but the staff didnt speak English. Saltillo, Mexico Dr. Henry Mansur. that is all the information I have to where she went. Sorry, don't give up.

I forgot to mention they do have a payment plan at BeLightWeight.

      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!!

      Today was rough...
      I've been experiencing a headache all day today that just won't go away. I'm thinking it's now progressing into a migraine. Does anyone else get headaches from taking vitamin B12? I did some research and learned that usually a lack of B12 causes headaches. But I've noticed when I take it, I have reoccurring headaches. 😫
