    Hola! Orale! Seems Mexico is my option

    Learningtotwinkle replied to Travelmego's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery

    I will for sure let you know how it goes, not sure about the price difference, I booked in April and I got in on a special of $5200 I am using a coordinator so maybe that's why.

    Learningtotwinkle replied to Travelmego's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery

    I am scheduled with Dr ponce next week I used Trish as my coordinator she has been great to work with, I had to fill out paper work that went over my medical history, I am not required 6 months of pre op anything I am pretty sure if want surgery in June with him you will get in. As far as cost I was quoted $5500 but if your bmi is over 50 its an extra $500 and that includes everything(hospital,hotel, transport to and from San Diego)

    At the end of the day your heart will tell you who is right for you, that's how it happened for me I had 3 on my list but the other two just never felt 100% right but Dr Ponce always has.

  16. Learningtotwinkle
    Thank you so so so much you have eased my fears I have the same one about the bathroom to so I have just been thinking I will use it before I board and then hold it until I land should I need to go but yes slowing down on the liquid a while before hand would be smart to I hadn't thought of that. Thanks SO MUCH! I just want to get there and get home with as less eyes on me as possible, I wish I had a harry potter invisible cape hahaha

    Can I ask how your flying experience was and who you flew with? I am starting out at the same weight as you and I am worried sick about the airplane nothing else really just the dang plane, I am scared I won't fit down the passage way between the rows of seats, I know I will have to pay for two seats for me but yeah.

    Dr. Ponce De Leon And Trish

    Learningtotwinkle replied to amytug's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery

    When I first contacted Trish it was about a day before I heard back from her I contacted her through facebook, and then she emailed me right away with the medical history forms and another form explaining everything. If you don't hear back try emailing again. Actually I think I just asked her a question on her facebook page first and then she facebook emailed me and then we went from there.
