  1. I got mine Jan 21, 2013 and I was told there were 4 -6 operations that day..nope..its a meat shop. There were 15 and surgery started at 6am and unfortunately i was the last one....at 11pm I have sharp pains on the beginning of my stomach entry i hope i will be okay and recover soon. I pray that i wont have a leak. I'm sure he rushed the job since i was the last one on a long day. But regardless i saved a lot of money by going there.

    HELP! Stomach spasms?

    I had surgery jan 21 2013...i have this sharp pain on the top of my stomach or it feels that way. I don't know how to describe it..but it feels like im super hungry but im not. I try eating a bit of food and it makes me want to vomit. Soups are okay they stay in, but anything else i feel it on my my throat and the food pushes up little by little. My pain goes away for a bit after drinking Advil. But i don't want to be drinking pills the rest of my life. Anyone else have a sharp pain comes and goes? NANasPez i'll do what u did and go to the local doctor.

    They offer it for free, you get a Doctors referral and hope for the best. They never call to confirm you are in the waiting list. I am tire of waiting. It can take up to 2 yrs.

    If i lived in the States and Surgery was going to be done there...i would have no problem trusting them. But im talking about Mexico a different part of the world. A little sketchy

    So the photocopy is a way for them to know the money is on its way and assures them that payment will be made. How would you pay? is a cashier cheque the same as a travelers cheque? Im coming from Canada

    I find it strange but i understand...they need the money up front. But this does give it room for it to be a scam. "PLEASE NOTE: IF YOU PLAN TO PAY WITH A DEBIT OR CREDIT CARD, PAYMENT MUST BE MADE AT LEAST 5 BUSINESS DAYS BEFORE YOUR ARRIVAL. IF YOU ARE TRAVELING FROM OUTSIDE OF THE US, PAYMENT MUST BE MADE IN EITHER CASH, TRAVELER’S CHECKS OR CREDIT CARD AT LEAST 5 BUSINESS DAYS BEFORE YOUR ARRIVAL." I paid the $500 to confirm date of surgery, Jan 21 2013 with Dr. Alamanza. I dont feel comfortable sending the full amount by creditcard 5 days before arrival..what about if they dont pick me up and im there waiting and they dont show up and im ripped off five thousand dollars..it would be a nightmare. My question is how did you decide to pay and what is the best option? alot of people pay by Cashier cheque but why do they need a copy of it 5 days before hand or earlier? can they somehow cash the cheque by just the photocopy..by reading the cheques number..i dont dont wanna get scammed. I know its all a risk ..im just curious
