Thinking about mexico for surgery..... any advice?
I have read many post on here. My insurance will not pay for my surgery and it will cost upwards of 19,000 USD to get the procedure here. I have looked at a lighter me with Dr. Ortiz and Ready for a change with Dr. Garcia. Both are very nice and helpful but I am leaning towards the facility that ready for a change uses. It looks more like a hospital and up to date. Can anyone tell me about their experience with either of these companies? I am lost as to who to chose or what to do. Going to Mexico scares the crap out of me due to the stories you hear about things going very wrong with things their.
Hi!
I was pretty nervous as well. My mother and sister in law went to Dr Ortiz May of 2013 for the Gastric Sleeve, I went in March for the Lower body lift and my brother went along with me and had the Sleeve as well. A driver will pick you up at the air port and take you to the clinic. They will shuttle you back and forth to and from the hotel for your follow up visits. The hotel that you stay in has all the accomodations that you need, so if you are not wanting to wonder around everything is there in the hotel for you. Also, if you do not speak spanish, almost everyone there spoke english very well. Dr Ortiz has been on a couple of tv shows, Oprah, the today show, good morning america. He has a couple of YouTube videos as well that you can watch to get you a little more comfy and let you know the area. Good luck!!
