    I had my surgery on 3/11 I didn't have enough time to get my passport because I wanted to get this surgery before I spent my tax return, any way my wife n I both just took our drivers lic and original birth cert and we were able to cross back into the USA and when we crossed into Mexico they didn't even check us

    I went with dr Elias Ortiz he was trained by dr lopez everything went perfect! No hidden cost I paid my $4500 (I think the prices went up recently) and that was it of course if you want to tip your driver that's up to you. Jenese the coordinator took care of everything for me down to my Aflac paperwork if you want you can look up my old post I have my step by step of how everything went, or you can just ask me any question ill be happy to answer any question

    I used to get this numbness back when i was 300+ i went to the doc and he said its cause your "big" back then my thigh would give out randomly then it went away on its own

    Well now it's back It gets worse at night ill wake up in the middle of the night and when I try to get up I feel like rubber bands snapping inside my thigh and a tingly numbness but it goes away in the day time

    Any one been told how to get rid of it, my doc says everything is cause I'm still big at 185 hum time for a new doc that actually has an answer

    Yes bring the IPad I left mine at home because I figured I could just use my cell phone BUT boy did I mis that iPad also make sure you switch to wify when at the hotel and hospital or you will pay big time when U get your monthly bill I also switched my cell plan to included Mexico minutes for only $15 more and that gave me 1000 calling minutes had I not added that on then it would have been $0.89 per minute

    Oh yeah don't forget the gasX

    When I was looking for Protein Shakes I found out that Walmart Sams club and costco will refund you your money if you don't like it, by the way Costco has the best price 6lbs for $45

    Also I found out that you local Vitamin shops as well as GNC will let you try out the Protein in the store b4 you purchase it that way if you don't like it well you just don't purchase it

    Reading this thread was hilarious! You all made my morning!!!! VST and Support Groups do seem to be ran by the women....although having a lot of women around is NEVER a bad thing....LOL.....When you think about it.....it may be because a lot of times men don't want to admit that they need support....eh hem....of course not us men on VST though. =) LOL

    Lol agree made my morning

    I'm gonna tell em what they've heard me say many' date=' many times in the past. "I'm on a diet again". Which is exactly the case.

    And I'm sure I'll get the usual jabs like ......."yeah sure.....the Atkins 2 minute diet".......or ......damn, "that means the local Wendy's and pizza Hut are gonna go bankrupt" and I'll chuckle right along with 'em..............I'm sure there will be plenty of legit comments later when they see the results......

    As far as the surgery......Guys don't really give a sh*t. In fact, I'll probably show them the five bullet scars where I single handedly stopped a bank robbery and captured a gang of crazed gunmen and saved 20 hostages. .......Yeah.....that's the ticket..[/quote']

    LMFAO ???? this so sounds like the guys I work with

    I'd be okay with traveling if the travel expenses still didn't exceed the usual price here' date=' but Mexico is a no. I'm not comfortable going outside the US.[/quote']

    Here is the info for Dr Umbach I guess the price went up to $12k
