Gastric Sleeve Cost question
just did a very quick search, Belgian about 1,200 San Diego about 700.00 did not search for cheapest fare etc... But I do know flights to Europe do go on sale from NS, so I will investigate further, emailed the Weightloss Clinique for information to check out that location, it's something I did not explore
Another option instead of going to Mexico is going to Europe... I am an American living in Belgium and while I am covered by the Belgian social security system, I see regularly people from all over the world at the Weightloss Clinique I use in Brussels. I know the airfare to Europe isn't cheap either, but I believe the surgery rates and hospital stays rival Mexico. My surgeon, Prof. Guy-Bernard Cadiere, is the first surgeon in the world to perform a bariactric surgery by Laproscopy. He and his team are fantastic and almost everyone I have been in contact with speaks fluent English.
It is just another option out there to consider. If you want to contact me/friend me I'd be happy to help you find out more information.
Good luck!

Hi Ashley,
Great option for those located in Canada/East Coast. Flights to Europe are really expensive on the west coast and I never thought to consider Europe because of the exchange rate.
I'm scheduled for May 26th in Mexico or I would contact you and consider this.
All the best!
When looking at flights, try flying to Las Vegas then San Diego. Vegas subsidises airlines to to keep prices down. You can save big bucks using Vegas as a hub, The further out you book, the cheaper the flight. Also dont be afraid to use one airline to get to vegas and another to get to San diego, Just leave a couple of hours between flights.
I had my surgery with Dr Ramos Kelly. Lora was his assistant that helped me with my questions and arrangements. There was never any pressure to book only options. Didnt have to pay a deposit. They were more interested in my concerns than my money.
Enjoy the adventure and you will have the time of your life

I'm having a VSG in less than four weeks. (Yay!!! :) I'm Going to hospital Angeles with Dr. Corvala. I did pay 10% down of a total of $6500. I didn't think anything of paying a deposit. I assume they don't want to take up time with people who aren't committed to following through with surgery. Hopefully a deposit wasn't a bad sign!
I haven't found that many testimonials about Dr. Corvala but I have a friend who had lap band surgery with him and she had only positive things to say. A raving review actually. He taught some of the well known Mexican surgeons and also in US hospitals. Here is a link to a video showing the hospital. I feel perfectly safe traveling here. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=MPLLUhFZmgo
