LAP RNY COST

I am self pay and wanting best deal I can get. Can you share cost and feedback on your surgery. I need to convince my wife its safe and worht the risk over cost in U.S.

Dear Stick Bender, I just returned from Bogota, Columbia where I had RNY with Dr. Valencia and Dr. Silva. It was a cinch and a wonderful experience. These are kindest people in the world. See my message on the message board. The cost was $15,000 whi*****luded everything-pre-op testing, surgery, hospital stay, 11 nights at the Intercontinental Hotel, transfers, meals, private duty nurses in the hospital and one night in the hotel. It was fabulous. Even felt well to go sight seeing with my personal escort/translator. See their website-affordablebariatrics.com. It was great. I hope you have luck in finding a place to go and get it done. It is the best thing you can do for yourself. And, Bogota is a great city with great shopping. Keep me posted. Marianne
