Who's on your medical team?
If you can pay in Mexico you can afford Weightwise in Oklahoma City. You get the best pre and long term care! Physical therapist, nutritionist, advocate, classes and support group. My friend went to Mexico and mine was a thousand dollars more but she got sick almost died and only going to Weight Wise to my surgeon saved her. Most won't touch you if you have complications after Mexico surgery.
