Anyone had surgery in Mexico??

Hi fellow Alaskans, is there anyone out there who has had WLS in Mexico? I'm going to have to self-pay, so Mexico looks like the way I might have to go. I've talked to quite a few people from the lower 48 who have had their surgery in Mexico and it went quite well. Just wondered if there are any fellow Alaskans out there who have made the trip to Mexico for their surgery and see what you're experiences have been. Thanks for all the info --Julie

This board is kind of slow, so I thought I'd give you the link to the south of the border forum, where you might get more answer - in case you'd not been there yet. http://www.obesityhelp.com/forums/south-of-the-border/ Good luck!

I am on my to Mexico also. I live in Anchorage and my insurance will not cover the surgery. I am going to Dr. Joya in Puerto Vallarta, he will do it 8000 including roundtrip airfare. My problems is that I havent found anyone in Anchorage, Yet that will do my follow up/fills. I am planning on having my surgery by end of year. Terri
