if i were going to be self pay i would go to Mexico since the hospital and the doctors are owned by U.S. doctors. but i would go for rny not lap band since most lap band doctors wont touch someone elses patient and you have to pay extra ....it is a lot cheaper in mexico and get a weeks vacation right on the beach too lol

I say AMEN to Jan's advice. You should probably do lots of research about the band if you are having it out of the country especially. Local doctors sometime won't do fills on out of the area doctor's patients. What is your BMI and why are you choosing the band?
Hugs,
