"I felt well prepared for what to expect and everything went as expected. I appreciated the consult with the cardiologist as my chief concerns about the surgery were cardiac related. He explained everything they were going to do before, during and after surgery to protect my heart and was very thorough. I think the surgeons in Mexico must get very tired of feeling as though they have to defend themselves to their US patients and the almighty US health care system, but it probably pays off in terms of the actual care provided, which, in my opinion was far superior. rnAll this said, I will say that there were a few technical problems with the arrangements. I got a call the Friday before I was to leave on Sunday saying that my surgery had disappeared off their list and wanting to know if I had rescheduled or cancelled. I called back immediately to say I had NOT cancelled. As a result, the Hotel had my arrival date wrong, but were very polite in accommodating me and there was not a pre-prepared folder waiting for me on Monday am when I arrived fro surgery. Very minor stuff that was handled very well by all concerned."
