My surgeon was Dr.Ramos Kelly in Tijuana. The cost was $5,500.00. This included everything except airfare. I had a wonderful experience and he is an excellent Dr. You will also find a lot more of his patients on here. Goodluck and feel free to message me if you have any questions!

I second Jeni - I too used Dr Kelly and had an amazing experience and no complications. Send me a message if you want any details or inforamtion.

By the way Jeni - you are doing great!

Good morning Kimmes  : )


I don't mean to pester you... But i hear of others going to the store and buying items that are needed after surgery ( while in Mexico)  What do you need to buy and are you in a great deal of pain while shopping since you're only days post-op? 

Thanks

Thanks for the help ladies...  : )   He and Dr. Pompa were one of the Surgeons i was considering.. but on Dr.Kellys page.. It List the price as $9,500 I believe   ..  That's out of reach for me **sighs** .  What gets me the most is .. I won't be able to be sleeved until the end of this year and im more than sure the prices would have gone up by then... But Hell or high water, I will be sleeved! My health and family are depend on it.

I agree with twins, alighterme has better prices.  They also have a new aftercare program with another doctor that follows your diet for you.   I think Dr. Kelly is a good doctor.

I think the expensive price you saw must have been for a revision, where they take out a lap band and do the sleeve surgery. Call Trish at Dr Kelly's office!  I was told the regular price was $5500 but I got a 'special' they were doing for $5300. I very highly reccommend Dr Kelly and his staff, by the way! I did pay $44 extra to stay in a nicer hotel, but that's not  required.
