  1. It really depends in the surgeon and where in Mx you have your procedure. The range is $4500 -$10k. Surgeon and location factor into the price. You can expect to pay more in Puerto Vallarta or Cancun. Surgeons who've been at it longer or use bigger hospitals often command a bigger price as well. I am only scratching the surface. There are so many contributing factors. I've learned so much in my research and from people here who're sharing their experiences... Amanda Rae
  2. Be that as it may, I still wouldn't share it on a public forum. Amanda Rae
  3. Hooray for you. I'm glad it all went well. Plz share your experience, if you don't mind, when you're up for it. Amanda Rae
  4. Who on earth would give their personal info in a public forum. Um, can you say "duh no!". Amanda Rae
  5. ROFL! I didn't even have to leave the States to have someone translating my English. No worries, I'm fluent in English. I will pass on your translation of my own words, thank ya much! Amanda Rae
  6. The USA is great. I'm proud to be an American overall. That doesn't mean we hold the monopoly on quality of medical care. I'd prefer to have my surgery here near home. So that I'm closer to my loved ones. It just isn't possible so I am Mexico bound. I will rely on the experiences of those who have actually done it and the dedicated research I've put into almost obsessively. I will ignore the narrow minded ethnocentrism that is running rampant on this thread. "And that's all I have to say about that." Amanda Rae
  7. Hooray! I'm happy you're safe and well. Amanda Rae
  8. Good luck and a safe surgery to you both. Don't forget to let us know you're safe and all is well! Amanda Rae
  9. Fishy, if your goal is help people with info, data, and support your delivery STINKS, and you're being counterproductive. If your goal is to upset people, worry people, and anger people into debates and arguments... stay your course. Amanda Rae
  10. That's why I am planning for Mexico in the Spring. So many surgeons with a wide price range. The surgeons I hear the most about are (in alphabetical order so as not to imply favoritism) Dr. Aceves Dr. Almanza Dr. Alvarez Dr. F. Garcia Dr. J. Ramos Kelly Dr. Lopez (mine) Dr. A. Ortiz Dr. J. Ortiz Dr. Osuna (spouse of Dr. Lopez) Dr. J. Ponce de Leon That's all that pops in my head at this time. There are more that I'm sure others will add but these names I see a lot. Amanda Rae
  11. Hooray! I'm glad all went well. *exhale* Amanda Rae
  12. When you are up for it and don't mind I know all of us would love to hear a detailed account of your experience. Amanda Rae
  13. Have you made a decision? Amanda Rae
  14. I honestly feel my breath catch and my stomach drop until whomever is there having their surgery posts again that they're okay. Thoughts, prayers, and well wishes! Amanda Rae
  15. Me too in March! Please let me know about your experience? Amanda Rae
  16. I can dig it. I put the "ass" in mASSive! Amanda Rae
