Surgeon choices in Mexico?

I'm hoping for some feedback here.

I had my surgery done in Mexico.
I was very happy with my surgeon and the facility.
He cost $8000 for the sleeve.

My daughter wants to get the surgery now that she has seen how it's working.
I told her I would help her pay for it but I think it will be sometime before either of us can afford this price.

I've read other threads about other surgeons in Mexico that have great reputations but may be less expensive.

Anybody care to throw some names out there so I can do some research?

Thanks,
Donna

Dr Kelly for me too, I think his current price is $5700. Had a great experience, it's on my profile if you'd like to read it.

 Dr. Guillermo Alvarez -- endobariatric.com.  Absolutely tops and one of the most experienced bariatric surgeons.  Back when I was getting started, me, Dr. Aceves, and Dr. Joya were the three go-to surgeons.  He is just over the border from Eagle Pass, TX.

Dr. Jaime Ponce de Leon  did my surgery on August 1st.  He's fantastic, very well experienced and affordable.  You might be able to get a surgery from him for around $5,000.

He did my surgery on August 1st, I have lost 42 pounds now and I feel great!  I've had no complications and have no regrets.

There is a lady named Jessica Bates who works for him.  She's great and can give you any info you need.  

Please be sure to look into the experience and statistics of the doctors you're considering.  I did a ton of research before my surgery and I think that's why it went so well.

Good luck to you!

 Lowest prices is between $5,000 and $8,000. Don't settle by just the price. Match the best surgeon for her needs, and then look into a medical loan if needed.  

I have heard very good things for Dr. Kelley, Dr. Almanza, Dr. Aceves, Dr. Joya, Dr. Alvaraz (sp?)

Through your past research for your own surgery, was there any other surgeon, that stood out to you?

On these boards, I've read bad things about Almanza, but the other mentioned seem to have happy patients!
