Hello, I'm trying to find out if insurance will reimburse for Mexico surgeries, as out of network? my insurance covers the surgery in the US. I am trying to avoid the 6mo wait and pre-op testing and screening as I've already gone through it. I went up to my pre-op appt the week before surgery and had to cancel because I got sick. I had to recover, lost weight on my own and here I am 80lbs heavier just wanting to get through it but they are making me start from day 1. thanks!

I have my consult on the 2nd but not with Dr. Boone. I was suppose to have surgery 4 years ago with Swartz and got sick and admitted to Heart hospital 1 week before surgery uncontrollably vomiting. Swartz cancelled the surgery and ultimately said I was no longer a candidate because I have Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome. I lost 40lbs in 3 months but once it was diagnosed and treated I stopped.. kept it off... until I got sick and was put on prednisone for my lungs and here we are again. Do you know what the surgery scheduling time frame is like currently? I’m miserable.
