Their price4 is $2999 for a VSG in a clinic, not hospital. Sure sounds good but want more information.

you need to use one of the well known surgeons in Mexico ,m there are some real crappy ones there also,

 go to the Mexico forum and find out which ones have the best record , , you will also be safer in a hospital

 so of the surgeons there do the surgery in a hospital and latter in the day transfer you to a hospital with a full time nurse to care for you and the others that had surgery that day

 do your research before going to Mexico there can be problems  getting a doctor to treat you in the USA after Mexican surgery or getting health or life insurance

 call the state dept to check if that area in Mexico is safe to travel to

I had surgery with Dr. Fernando Garcia last October, but it was in a hospital.  It was extremely important to me that it be a hospital and not a clinic.  Be careful of the "deals" that you find.

That might be the one that is in between a strip club and a taqueria.

$2999 does not sound good at all......... sounds shivering scary......

Not that cost determines skill or out comes...... but just minimum expenses should be more than that, even in Mexico.

I find that a questionable price.  I paid more for mine and don't regret it. I researched my Doc, talked to other patients, and based my decision only after considering all factors. that doesn't sound like enough to cover proper anesthesiologist, and surgical equipment or after care.  If it sounds to good to be true it usually is.
