I had surgery in Mexico and I have nothing but wonderful things to say about it! I was treated better there than I have ever been treated in a US hospital (with the exception of when I had my child). I was catered to constantly, taken very well care of, not scary at all, and even had staff pray with me. There are staff members that do not speak very good English, but there is always someone that speaks excellent English to help out. Its mostly just the staff that helps you bathe or takes blood pressure (but the hospital gives you a chart of things to point to if they are unable to understand or you are unable...example: if they are just there to take out the trash they just point to the paper they are taking out the trash). All of the doctors speak English perfectly. I went to Star Medica in Juarez across from El Paso. It was all facilitated through Belite Weight here in the US and I still speak with my patient facilitator here in US. I even was able to finance it. You do have to get a passport. The hospital has a driver that picks you up at the airport and takes you into Mexico and then takes you back to airport. It was all very safe and my doctors were amazing! I made a friend from Houston while there that I still talk to and another from Dallas that had surgery there the week before that I met on their website. I follow up with my general practice doc here in US. Please feel free to message me with any questions you have. I know Mexico sounds scary...at first I thought it was crazy...but after tons of research I know I made the right decision and have not regrets!! Hope this helps! K

I agree would take the weight loss anyday, but I'm starting to look like a melted candle in places! And I love the tube sock remark...I'm right there with ya gal!!
