I've decided to have my surgery in June as well. Just because I need to save up more and get more prepared for all of this. I believe June is the month for me!!

In my opinion, I would go with Dr. Fernando Garcia. I personally haven't read much on the other Garcia, but I've seen tons of good reviews on Fernando Garcia. good luck to you whichever one you decide to go with!

They aren't giving me any money for the surgery, but I stay here with them for the time being. She will be caring for my son when I go to Mx

I've flip flopped so much with all these surgeons jn Mexico that I feel like I could write an autobiography on every one of them! And their coordinators too! Lol

Dr. Kelly is having a special in April actually. He will price match any other surgeon down there!

I'm so confused right now... I'm having a hard time sleeping at night because all I think about is trying to figure out what I should do. I try talking to my family about it, but they are against me going to Mexico, so every bit of advice they offer to me isn't beneficial one bit. I feel completely alone. Almost to the point that I just want to forget about the surgery all together because it's causing me more stress and I haven't even had it yet! My Mother won't even look at surgeons websites with me so I can talk to her about my options. I know with my son, if he was thinking of doing this I would be researching left and right with him making sure he was content with his choice. She's been this way my entire life though. I don't think I can remember one time where she's told me that she was proud of me or that I was good at something. EVER. So not only do I feel like she doesn't support me in this, I feel like she's not a big supporter of anything that I do. I usually always do things on my own. Right now I'm torn about which surgeon I should go to. I posted a thread the other night and got a lot of good responses and ideas, but my head is still churning. I don't have much money and going to Dr. Aceves is going to be extremely hard on me financially. I mean, I can manage it, but it would be nice just to plop down the $4500 with Lopez or Garcia and be done with it. But it scares me. I ask myself why does Dr. Aceves charge so much more? True, he's in a full service hospital, but I was told he uses the best equipment, staples, everything. And that he fixes many sleeves from other surgeons due to the sleeve being too large or pouches in it. A part of me wants to just go with him because he has a great reputation and I'm sure I'd get the care I need. But I've also read lots of great things on MiHospital and the surgeons out of there. They haven't done it as long as Dr. Aceves though, and I'm not sure about the care I'd receive at Midoctor in a life or death situation. I'm just going back and forth...

You too! I'm sure all will go fine! keep us posted on your experience down there!

Better go back and get the pants lol

I don't know yet lol probably March 14th

I keep thinking of what I need to do, what I should pack etc.

I can't sleep!!! Thinking about this surgery 24/7!!! Lol

I'm wishing you luck can't believe it's already here!!!!

Has anyone been in there to check on you yet?

I thought most surgeons usually started off with the revisions first?

Would I absolutely need a wheelchair? I'd prefer to walk... But if this is anything like my csection, I won't be able to!!

I still don't have the money to have my surgery I'm saving and saving though. My car needs repaired, and it seems like one thing after another keeps happening. I applied for a loan and was denied. I hope that I can save up enough to have the surgery sometime this year... Hopefully by summer. But I just don't know

Well, I will just come out and say it... Lol I was going back and forth between Dr. Lopez and Dr. Aceves. I never thought I would be able to afford Dr. Aceves, but he has a great financing plan that doesn't do a credit check, and I would be able to go to him. In the long run I'm going to pay a lot more, but he's been at it a long time and highly recommended.

Thanks everyone for the advice!

I was told that the Mi Doctor Hospital is actually a clinic. Not an actual hospital. One of the coordinators said that the word hospital is used loosely down there. I'm sure Mi Doctor is perfectly fine, but I've thought for the longest time it was an actual hospital.

I don't make a lot of money at all. I'm a single mother, and I don't even have the money right now to have the surgery with the cheaper doctor!! Lol so going with the cheaper one would help me financially for sure. BUT I do have a 3 year old that needs his mommy and I don't want to make the wrong decision.
