Lap Band Surgery in Mexico
The primary reason to consider lap band surgery in Mexico is to save money, generally a few thousand dollars.
You may have heard of patients going to Mexico for surgery to save money . They go to Mexican doctors who live in Mexico. Not their hometown and not easily available for simple much less complicated problems or follow up care.
Dr. Thomas's plan is different. He goes with you to Mexico and personally does your lap band surgery, stays with you at the same hotel, and does his usual followup office visits in either his Houston or Nacogdoches office. And that is very important for Gastric Banding patients. They need frequent followup visits for success. The down side is the patients need to be a little healthier than some and you have to plan around when the trip is scheduled. All the patients have been very pleased.
Laparoscopic gastric banding and laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy are the procedures currently performed by Dr. Thomas in Mexico.
The surgeries are in Puerto Vallarta at Cornerstone hospital. The hotel varies, but has been the Canto Del Sol and the Melia in the past. It is all inclusive. Airfare, transfers, and hotel are included in the all inclusive price. And that includes free office visits for one year.
Cash pay patients should consider this option.
