Hi Ramona, I do not know anything about doctors in your neck of the woods, but you should really consider going to one of the fine doctors in Mexico. My friends and I have gone to Dr. Kuri and we experienced (and continue to eperience) wonderful care. Prices vary, but you can usually have all things taken care of for between $7500 and $8500. The hospital facilities are modern, beautiful, and clean. One does not need to speak Spanish. In the States, most Lap Bands are a day surgery (you go home right after the procedure. We had two nights in the hospital with great care, and then two-three nights in a beautiful hotel, all covered by the doctor's fee. The anesthesiologist's fees are also included. A driver meets you at the airport and delivers you directly to the hospital. He takes you back to the airport, as well. You will not need a passport, because you fly directly into San Diego. You can probably find a roundtrip for $200-$300. Do some research and check out some of the fine surgeons who can perform this surgery for you. Odds are, they have completed four or five times the amount of lap band procedures as most US docs. Good luck!
