Current expectations of Surgery date...
I am curious... What is the expected turn around time in getting a surgery date? I didn't know if it runs several weeks or months..but I suppose it depends on the surgeon. I am one of those people who will need things to move quickly. I am scared to death of the surgery (I have never been under general anesthesia) and I know I will talk myself out of it if too much time passes. I have chickened out twice in the past.
I am sure it depends on who you go with and what is available... but I COULD have gone as early as next week but I wouldn't be able to get stuff together that quickly. I am like you in terms of talking myself out of things... I have had surgeries before so that part doesn't scare me, but I can guilt myself into thinking I shouldn't do this for myself.... that I am not worth it... ect... so a quick date was important to me as well. I ended up getting a date that was only about 3 1/2 weeks away from when I set everything.

On the fence about self-pay options and if Mexico is the right choice (or scared of that option)? Let my experience (first time ever in Mexico) be your guide. Don't let fear hold you back!

Thank you for your reply. I contacted Dr. Aceves' office and was told they could schedule me the 3rd week of July. Now if I could only find the courage to take the jump. It's not the impending changes which scare me - as I am all up for that - its the surgery itself. I know it's not a rational fear, but I struggle to overcome the nerves and just go for it :(
