Yes, I will. However, it is not easy to go against the three most important people in my life. I can always do the surgery later, like over the summer. They want me to exhaust other avenues first and I think I can compromise. I am feeling better about the entire thing actually. It's not a perfect situation, but it is a workable one

If you want to borrow my line, feel free. Here it is: "Oh, don't worry! I picked the dr. with the nicest chickens running around the shack!"

No insurance coverage in MX.. Unless its urgent. Because of our confidence in the dr we are all contributing towards her cost. Out of pocket/co pmt costs in the states are almost equal to full surgery costs in MX.
On a side note.. To the OP and family, The surgery cost in MX is equal to their cost of overhead/living down there.. Just as our surgery cost up here is equal to cost of overhead/living here
People need to realize that the surgery in MX isn't less expensive because it's less quality.. It's very expensive to the citizens of MX. They can't afford the medical treatments we get there like we can't afford it out of pocket here

I do too weigh when I get up, sometimes after I pee and once after Skinny Sexin I thought it counted it for good Cardio.
Nope I don't have a problem with weighing. Lol
