surgery in Mexico ????
I am awaiting surgery. I am booked for April 8 with Dr Almanza in Tijuana.
His site is www.jerusalemweightloss.com
His coordinator is Melissa
So far she has been great to deal with in answering all my questions and handling my concerns. Give her a call to get it directly from them.
I was heading towards a lap bad but changed my mind and have now opted for the VSG.
There are many good MX doctors to choose from with alot of testimonials.
TJ was easy for me and I opted for Almanza with the lower price because I personally did not see the "added" value of paying more.
That's just my opinion.
You will get many other comments I'm sure.
Price is around $5000
Hope this helps abit.

Hi Sue -
I asked the same question a few days ago. I am in Calif and the cost is about 17000-30000, more like the high end of that. But there is a place in Mexicali that I am going to schedule my lap band surgery. The cost right now is $6500.00. I will give you the email attached. They will pick you up from the San Diego airport, and you will be there about 4 days. Make sure you bring someone with you. Her name is Nina. Hope this helps. and check out their website.

Ok so I did my homework and I all ready check on prices, facilities and everything in Tijuana and Mexicali, I obviously did not gave my real name and email because they call me like a 100 times, it´s a little bit stocking for me, but any way, it´s between 2 places in Tijuana, they are both qualify surgeons, I´m not sure yet I think that I feel more comfortable with a female doctor and a man but I´m still thinking about it. I´m planing my surgery at the end of march, has any one here had use Dr. Marie Pompa or Dr. Almanza?
Thanks girls for your guidance but most important for your time, you girl´s here at the forum are my big angels.
