You must have read my post wrong. I am in Canada - so for me I have to pay with canadian $ - so I have to write a cheq in US funds - but that costs me a lot more in Canadian funds. I didnt know where you were located - so I was saying if you are in Canada it is more than $7950 to us.

Hello to all, i am chickiedee and i had my lapband surgery don't in cabo san lucas mexico with dr tirado and i think did real good and i think has a very good price. Iam on vacation visiting my kids here and i just went back day before yesterday to get a fill. I join this group to havev people to chat with concerning this surgery.

yah - being that they take US funds...I it cost me - I think it was $8975ish - I cant remember the exact number...u can go to an online currancy calculator to see what it would cost u today.
But - yes it did include three days at the hotel and the clinics bus picks you up from the airport, takes u to the hotel, takes u to the clinic and back to the hotel/airport when needed and that is all incuded in that cost.

Make sure u have aftercare arranged as well. I have a fill doctor lined up here who will do Mexican patients free (at a hospital here and I have to have an order from my family doctor). BUT - I loved the OCC so much, and had such a great time and met some great people so I have decided to go back their for my fills.

:tongue:

Hey mansaw! What is this about exchange rates?? I was not told anything about that by my patient coordinator?? I was told the price was $7950 and that was it!! My surgery is a week from tomorrow. I guess I should call my coordinator today and enquire, huh??

I was just banded in Mexicali by Dr. Aceves. I would recommend him to anyone who asked. The experience was great! My cost was $7000 for the lap band. That included transportation to and from San Diego airport, pre-op tests and post-op tests (x-rays, EKG, blood work, etc.), a wonderful first night in a great hotel with my husband, followed by 2 nights in the hospital in a private room with a long couch for my husband to sleep on. They checked on me every night and gave me medications for pain and sleep. It included my liquid food during the second and third days. Everyone was absolutely great! I felt so pampered.

I was banded by Dr. Aceves in Mexicali and paid $7,000. I was extremely pleased with the facilities and overall experience. He has an add on the right hand side. Good luck in your search!!:tongue:
