Topic: Paying for surgery in Mexico

Can I use my FSA card (Visa symbol) to pay for my surgery in Mexico? It's really my only option to paying cash. I am at the limit and really think that my insurance may deny me because I'm otherwise healthy (BMI fluctuating 39.0-40.0).

That is a hard one.  Have you talked to you Primary Care Doctor?    I found a Primary Care Doctor who knew about weight loss surgery, but it took a little hunting.  I posted on the boards and FB groups and really did not have much luck, but then, I went to some of the local Baritaic groups and talked to people at the groups and found a local doctor.  Good luck.

Hi,

I'd like to get surgery in Mexico, but am concerned about coming back to the USA and not finding anyone to help me if I have a complication.  Did anyone experience this?

I found researching Drs in Mexico really hard.   I don't know much about either one of them.   Have you looked at the Duodenal Switch?   Is more effective for high BMI's.

Topic: RE: Flight?

Follow up - I went with United, all end seats. I'll get there nice and early for each flight so that I can ask for an extender early on. 

 

Flights are booked and surgery is scheduled!
