Topic: RE: Not taking my cell phone

My husband and I go to Mexico every year and we always buy a prepaid cell phone from Walmart for $15.00 plus cost of minutes.  It has to be AT&T though as I am not sure if other companies work there.

Topic: RE: Tijuana, Mexico with Dr. Garcia 03/11/15 DS surgery. Will anyone else be there?

Had my surgery with Dr. Fernando Garcia on October 6th.  You are in good hands.  As far as I know you definitely need a passport to cross back into the US.

Hello Ladybugsy, how are you feeling? how was surgery with Dr. Kelly and how was your stay at San Juan Clinica?

I hope all is well.

You didn't need a passport?  I thought I would have to get one before I could go down.

Topic: RE: Insurance coverage for aftercare on Mexico VSG

It is going to depend on your insurance on what is covered. You will have to contact them directly.

As for the other, I did not go through your same doctor so there may be differences.. However, my companions food was not covered in the cost. The hospital sent out for their food but she had to pay. There was a fold out couch that she slept on in my room. I did receive medicine to bring home with me. I received antibiotics, pain meds, and a ppi.

Good luck!

I did not go through ALighterMe. However I did self pay in Mexico. I had surgery this past week on Feb 24. I went through Endobariatric with Dr Alvarez. I had a great experience.  If I could answer any questions for you about their setup please pm me. I would be glad to help.

I agree! It definitely is too good to be true! I never heard of a price quoted that low. I would be very dubious and I know I wouldn't go that route. I researched the VSG surgeons for a couple of years before I chose Dr. Kelly. I was so happy with my choice. Good Luck!   Linda

Defineately look at their complication rates, how many surgeries they do, talk to others who have gone there, see what the package includes. Best of luck on your journey!

I went to TJ for my VSG almost 7 weeks ago .... I paid 5900.00. I didn't look for a surgeon by price, I looked for a surgeon who was highly qualified! Some surgeons down there do like 10 patients a day .... Umm no thanks!
