I've heard Mexico is cheaper for self-pays but...

I am being banded next week in Monterrey.  My flight as well as a friends flight, all pre-op labs, x-rays, tests, consulatations, hospital stay, and hotel will all be under $9800.  The RNY was only about $1500.00 more.  Now granted I live in Texas so flights are probably a *****eaper, but it is so much better then the $13,000 - $18,000 I was quoted in Texas.  Good Luck with your search! PS - Be aware of the all inclusive, a Houston Doctor told me that then told me any Over-night stay would be on me, all labs and tests pre-op would be at my cost.  Just be sure "all-inclusive" is truly "all" inclusive.

This is what I liked about Dr .Joya... it was all inclusive.. didn't have to worry about a thing :)

how did you pay? did you take money with you or travelers or credit card.  How do you feel now. I seen that you had it done in JUly this year.

You can pay via credit card, wire transfer or money orders... I decided to take down money orders and pay that way :) I'm fantastic! I've been feeling 'normal' since about the 4th or 5th day after surgery. I haven't had any problems eating what-so-ever and I rarely feel under the weather.

Call or e-mail Gerald if you want more information... the info is on his website http://drjoya.com If you are considering going SOTB then I STRONGLY recommend Joya. Plus.. I could come and visit you in the hospital! :P
