Surgery in Mexico?

Have any of you every considered going out of the country to have your surgery? Do you know anyone that has done this? If my insurance doesn't approve and I self-pay, I am considering going to Mexico.

Hi Kim, I think there might be a forum for 'over the border' and such. Check it out.. love donna

Hi Kim, I had my surgery three years ago in Ensenada, Mexico with Dr Aguirre. He has been performing the open RNY for about 18 years now, and has a great reputation. Feel free to email me at anytime if you want details. If I had to do it over again, I wouldn't change a thing....my south of the border experience was excellent!!!!! Hugs, Patty

Hey Kim..I also had my surgery in Mexico. Puerto Vallarta with Dr. Joya. Feel free to email me with any questions you may have. And good luck!! Let us know how it goes. Hugs, Andrea

Don't let anyone make you think that Mexico is inferior for this surgery. They've been teaching US doctors! Here is the south of the border forum! http://www.obesityhelp.com/forums/south-of-the-border/posts.html
