Cost of DS in Mexico?

Just wondering if anyone else has recently priced DS in Mexico?  I was quoted a price of $13,000 with Dr. Aceves. That price included all pre/post op testing and 5 days in hospital, one in hotel and laparoscopic surgery.   Thanks!

I had my surgery on July 10th with Dr Kelly in TJ.  I had a wonderful experience.    Dr Kelly told me if I followed the Pre-op diet I would have no pain and my recovery would be very quick.  I did my part and although I had some initial nausia from the anestetic, I had no pain.  I had some bloating from the gas but no pain.  I spent two days in the hospital and two in a beautiful hotel.  All my tests both before and after surgery were included as well as all my meals. (soup was wonderful)  I saw Dr Kelley every single day for followup.  He visited me in the Hotel.  Absolutely everything was included except the airfare to San Diego.  I paid $5,200 for it all.

If you are looking for a wonderful surgeon, I can highly recommend Dr Kelly.  You can contact him directly and save $$$ on MedicalTourism fees.  Tel (619) 793-4869  My coordinator was Lori and she never took more than a few minutes to get my emails answered. 

I have no regrets and feel absolutely wonderful.

There are quite a few surgeons in Mexico doing VSG, but only 2 doing the DS that most of us would recommend - Dr. Aceves and Dr. Ungson. Mexico is a great option for many people, but you do need to be careful about finding a surgeon who is experienced with the particular operation that you have chosen.

I believe that Dr Kelly also does the DS surgery as well. I just wanted to add that to the previous comment.

I had my DS with Dr. Kelly on 6/21/13. The package cost was 8k. I went through a coordination company, but I would recommend contacting Dr. Kelly's office directly. I give Dr. Kelly an A+++ rating. I wrote a review of my experience in this forum under the title "Mexico Bariatric Center and Dr. Kelly". 

Thank you everyone for your replies!  I'm trying to get all the info I can.... I'd like to schedule my surgery Summer 2014...so I have a lot of planning!  :)

how has everything been for you? im concidering and seriously thinking of having ds surgery... i had vsg in 2010 with dr. kelly.... but gained all the weight back..? how is your diet? bowels and recovery? please b specific of how much u can eat... thanks

It has been an adjustment. The first couple of weeks that I got to eat solid food, I kept misgauging how much I could eat and would have to vomit. I'm still in the watery poop stage. The more water I drink, the more I poop. I'm still trying to get the diet down, but I know that I have to focus on protein and fat. I can't really say how much I can eat as far as the amount. I can only do about two or three bites in a 20 minute time frame. Since I'm a lightweight, the weight isn't just flying off. The numbers are going down, but I'm happier about the inches. I'm about two sizes smaller than when I started (found that out yesterday...yay!). I'm satisfied with my results so far.

thanks for the info?

im planning my surgery end of december early january... im planning it around my vaca at work... but want to get as much info from here on... i thought i got info on vsg... but new stuff always comes out
