Question:
How much is surgery in Mexico?

I see people talkin' about gettin' their surgery done in Mexico, because they are self pay. How much is it in Mexico?    — Michelle J. (posted on September 1, 2003)

Around $10,000 +/-. You can even get DS there now! duodenalswitch.com

The idea to find Latrisha nickle is a good one. She has tons of info on this but you might also go to the "south of the border" forum here on the site.

Doncha just love DS people who post about their type of surgery even when the question has nothing to do with it???

I didn't see her specifically ask for the price of the RNY? And people who are for the band do that too, or have you not noticed? Chris, though I know Dr. Ungson in MX does the DS on Americans now, you might want to check in with Helen before you encourage people. You can email me privately.

I had Open RNY with Dr Alejandro Aguirre in Ensenada Mexico on 8/22/03. I paid $6900.00 for surgery, you can look at my profile, as I made a list of what I spent total for hotels, food, taxis...ect. By the way I am feeling so well I am going back to work on 9/2/03 full time!!!!!!!!!!!!

I retract my previous suggestion. If you want DS out of country, best to go to Dr Marchesini in Brazil or Dr Baltasar in Spain.
