That's very reasonable ! I'll dig a little more, does it say Mexico bariatric and gastric surgery ? The FB page ?

It depends on BMI, but around $4,999, + $500 for revision, + $500 for higher BMI. His Facebook group is very informative, but they're all his patients. They seem really happy.

There were a few things on bariatric pal that were a little concerning about him, not sure how accurate they were though.  Do you know what he charges ?

Topic: RE: What airline did you use?

Hello. I just got off the plane to San Diego for my surgery in Tijuana about 3 hours ago. My BMI is close to 50. I needed a seat belt extender. I quickly asked the flight attendants on both flights (had a layover)for a seat belt extender. They both brought it to me quietly and as discreetly as possible. It's easy to hook on, you can do it yourself, and no one is the wiser. It really isn't a big scene and you won't be embarrassed. The flight was comfortable and I was happy I didn't buy the two seats I thought about buying. Look at this as an option because paying for two seats isn't necessary if the only requirement is you are able to buckle up! I flew US airways and American.

Have you checked into Baja Bariatrics, with Dr. Illan?? I've been seeing wonderful feedback in his Facebook group.

I had surgery with Dr. Ortiz in January, 2007. I did have a friend go with me for the banding but went back twice for fills alone and no problems at all. The best medical experiences I've ever encountered.

Dr. Kelly is amazing and does revisions as well.  I would definitely add him to your list of possible surgeons.
