I was banded by Dr.Aceves in Mexicali on 12/27/08. I was extremely happy with my experience. Arrived the day before for pre-op, spent one night in a hotel, had surgery, then one night in the hospital. If you fly (I drove) they'll transport you to and from the airport and you stay 2 nights in the hospital. Total cost was $7,000. Must admit, initially there was no way I would go have surgery in Mexico but I had the luxury of driving down to check out the hospital and meet the Doctor ahead of time. Being a self-pay it just made more sense then the original plan of $17k in Los Angeles for 2 hours in a surgery center! Good Luck in your research!
