Turns out I may have to self pay so off to Mexico I think I may go. I am interested in Dr. Almanza and the RNY. Could you please share your experience with the doctor and of course since I am self pay I am interested in what you costs were approximately. 
Thanks,
Crystal

Hey crystal,
I had a VSG with Dr. almanza so I really can't speak to RNY issues. There is a comprehensive account on my blog of my journey to MX.  About the only difference in the account would be RNY VS VSG. Pre op and recovery would all virtually be the same.

I paid $6000.00 for the VSG. I paid $600.00 for airfare for two. Paid about $100.00 for the hotel the night before I went across the border for my surgery.
Hope this helps even a little bit. Have you considered a VSG?
Holly

My wife used Dr Pompa in TJ at Limarp   Preety good exprience  Good People  Clean Place Surgury & Recovery was smooth wifes 8 days out from surgury (GASTRIC BYPASS ) & is good to go
                               Downside ask question concerning extra cost as we were charged 1000 extra cause her bmi was over 50 , extra cost of staples  knew ahead of time that thee could be a extra charge but didn;t know what the extra was until after fact  so ask question
                                 Kinda freaked about Mexico & surgury but all went smooth
                                                          GOD Bless
