 Just wondering if you guys have heard of an organiziation that goes down to Mexico in groups for these surgeries? I'm googling it but no luck finding solid info. Any help would be appreciated!

I have not heard of any such thing myself.  I know that there is a company out of Saskatchewan (Sleevedchick - I think is her name on OH) that will set every thing up for you and travel with you if you want.  They used Dr Ponce de Leon out of TJ.  However they charge a good amount over what it costs if you do the arrangements yourself through his coordinator (Trish).  I was quoted $9500 and when I did the arrangements through Trish and booked my own flight ($600 return) the acutal sugery only cost $5500.

Hope this helps!!

Trish is better than the group trips. She really focuses on you while you are there. I totally reccommend Dr Ponce ( did my surgery and a bunch of people on here as well) Other Dr's that seem good are Dr Aceves, Dr Alverez( not to be confused with Almanza - I wouldn't reccomend him - the cheapest but seriously not worth the risk , plus you end up in a recovery house , the "hospital " is in the strip mall etc)

Just avoid the ad that says " don't go alone" - ask it's-killen- me about her experience- ( it's in her signature)


My pictures from my trip are at www.photobucket.com/wlstijuana - you can see what the hospital looks like . My blog describes my experience.
