  1. I'm having the plication with dr ortiz dec 3! Add me to the list! ( I know I'm not a lb but hoping I can join in the support:)
  2. I wish you luck! I'm sure your husband will come around. He's prob just worried and uncertain!

  7. Thanks guys! I'm getting mine done south of the border. Any info down there? I'm not trying to cheat but am not ready to give up the champ ex or nicorette yet lol
  8. That's great! So they cover everything when I come back home, but I mean what if I get stuck down there? I know I prob sound paranoid but my mom had the sleeve done by dr ferris in reddeer and they nicked something and she was in real trouble. She seemed ok after so they sent her home two days later. Then two days after that she was sent to Calgary in stars. She was full of infection, had a leak somewhere and developed blood clots. He was in the hospital for TWO months. So that being said I can't imagine what a bill would be from a Mexican hospital if something happened toe while I'm there. Thanks For all your advise! I decided on plication with dr ortiz so I'm a bit nervous as its a newer procedure right? Dr Burke said shed do my fills if I got the lb. I too live two hrs away from Calgary so I started thinking what if I new an emerg unfill? I have three little kids I have to arrange for. So anyway after going back and forth that what I decided. Crazy!
  9. For any of you self payers, I'm just curious if you got any extra insurance anywhere just incase? God forbid anything should happen, but if it did and one had to spend extra time in the hospital what happens? Do you get a bill in the mail? Have to pay right there? Just curious as my date is dec 3 and I'm just trying to be prepared. Thanks:)
  10. Just wondering if any of you traveling got any kind of insurance just in case? God forbid something should happen, but if it did and you were stuck in the hospital down there longer what happens? Do you get a bi bill in the mail? Do you have to pay there? Has this happened to anyone?
