least expensive??

Hi! I'm looking into prices for my surgery. My insurance isn't going to pay for it because I'm not diabetic. So I'm trying to find the least expensive prices. I'm assuming Mexico is going to be way cheaper then here in the US....could one of y'all point me in the right direction? 

Thanks!

Dr Alejandro Aguirre Wallace has a forum here at obesityhelp. He did my surgery in '04 and my friend's in '08.

I would never have been able to afford the surgery in the US.  I scrambled to get a few signature loans, and put a lien on my car to finance my procedure. I figured my health and happiness was worth the cost of an economy car.

I was far more satisfied with my result and the level of care I received in Mexico than any of my three friends who had the surgery done locally.

I did my homework and felt confident with my decision. the results speak for themselves.

good luck  :)

Dr Almanza is the best price for the sleeve.  Medical Tourism had a special for $5000.  I am not using him but he was on my list with the best price.  There are a lot of people on the sleeve forum that used him if you want more info.

Thanks! I've been wanting the RNY, but I havn't researched the sleeve very much...I'll have to look into it.

I am planning to have the VSG with Dr. Almanza, too. Can you tell me why you did not choose him? Dr. Joya is almost double the price. Was it because of the location or experience of the doctor?

Medical Touirsm Corporation has one of the most affordable prices for weight loss surgery in USA & abroad. You can request quote for lap band surgery and gastric sleeve surgery  from them for about 10 plus options.

I also went to Alejandro Aguirre in Mexico.  He only does open RNY, but he is very good at what he does.  I have had no issues and felt good enough two days out to walk around the park and shops there.

I had Lap RNY with Dr Joya. The cost was $12,500 but it included surgery, hospital, resort, transportation (to/from airport), airfare etc. I was very VERY happy with Dr Joya ... Regardless of price, I wouldn't do it any other way.

Over the years it has been noticed that the cost of getting weight loss suregry is the prime factor that deters people from getting it done in USA. Mexico, in comparison is a great option for low cost surgicical facilities without compromising quality, especially if your surgery is not covered with insurance.
Apart from this, Mexico is also quite safe and possess qualified professionals and adequate medical facilities. Only thing is choose one qualified and experienced bariatric surgeon.
