I am planning to have sugery in Bogota Col. with Dr. Valencia. Check out affordablebariatrics.com Hope this helps. And good luck. You may also want to check out Vocational Rehab in your area. They have been known to pay for a good portion of it.

Steve, It really sounds like you need to check our www.drjoya.com he is a doctor in Puerto Vallarta who does gastric bypass and lap band. I am leaving on may 16th to have the Bypass done, I am so anxious. You can call and talk to Gerald, he is AWESOME! Anyway you are welcome to call me at 920-285-6500, I will be willing to help you out anyway I can. Christina Dollins, Watertown, WI

I had the lap-band surgery in Puerto Vallarta (Mexico) on 1-16-06 and $8000.00 covered the surgery, my airfare, hospital, Drs, and hotel...in other words, everything. Dr. Joya did my surgery and he also does gastric bypass. Toots

Hi Steve, Check out my profile for my Dr. I paid $ 8200.00 for my surgery. I had the Lap-Band in Mexicalla Mexico on 12/9/05. My Dr. will arrange financing if you can't pay all of it upfront. I have lost 42 lbs with 60 more to go to reach my goal before my 1 year band anniversary. Please see the attached link Tracy used the same Dr. as me and she is the one whom inspired me the most. I hope this helps you on your WLS Journey. http://www.tracyslapband.com/index.htm Thanks Donna T 252/210/150
