I did get two Wls inMX plus dental work and I had plastics this January there. Ppl have the idea that you get thrown up on the table in. The kitchen of a hovel and it is totally not like that.
You should go over to the MX forum but you would need to read back through the posts for several pages for the best information. You could also google " medical tourism" and. You will find it is a huge business for many countries. Many of their surgeons are cutting edge but there are the quacks too,just like in the us. That is where recommendations from ppl on this forum who. Have been there done that are invaluable.
many of the surgeons speak some English,many not so much. The ones who don't will have an interpreter with them so everybody can be understood and understand. A lot of the nursing staff seals some level of English but there is usually someone around who does and will help with translation. I. Never really had trouble making my needs known.
mexico was the only way I was able to have my Wl surgeries and my plastics. It has been a God send for me.

Hmmm Mexico never crossed my mind. After reading your reply I've been looking into that option. The thought of going out of the U.S. is scary but no way I could afford or get financed for surgery in the states.
Did you get yours there? How was it? Who was your surgeon and what do u do for follow up visits? ...guess I should go over to the Mexico forum huh? Hehe
Thanks!

Hi can you please send me a copy of that documentation to [email protected]? I need it bad, I have been through the whole check list and now my insurance changed and this was not a requirement before.
Thank you so much!
Thanks for sharing it with us Dr. A!
Wow, ok. I suppose I should have done a whole lot more research on the insurance process of this whole thing. I'm pretty clueless in that area. Thank you for responding.
Yes, I also had to pay my portion up front before surgery. I had lapband in 2008 and that hospital told me I would need my portion paid before I did my preops and now I'm scheduled for revision to sleeve at a different hospital and they too called me for my payment portion before I went for my preops.
Oh I see, thank you for responding
they are asking for the out of pocket upfront because they have been burned in the past buy patients not wanting to pay their portion after procedures have been done. It is not unusual for them to ask for it upfront,every time I have a procedure for anything,they want my part that day.
If you end up not owing that much,you will receive a refund check.
