Some Aceves Questions



Recommended Posts

Cajun,

The deposit is sent to a P.O. Box in Calexico, CA which is right over the border. A personal check is okay for that. The remaining balance is paid by cashier's/official check or money order when you get there. You can also pay by credit card, however there is a 3% fee for that. I'm assuming it is because it is being charged in Mexico.

Just so you know, some credit card companies charge a fee also, so check with your credit card company to know ahead of time.

Mine doesn't, but I know some do, if they do, it is usually about the same amount. 1-3%

I work as an Accountant and I know on one of our business cards the international transaction fee is 10%. Careful!

I have been wondering about how payment is done. I have heard that mail service in Mexico is very undependable. So do you mail the deposit regular mail?

How do you pay the rest? Does his office accept a personal check or do you have to take cash. I will be nervous carrying a lot of cash around for such a trip.

Will he accept credit card payment?

You mail the check to a PO Box in the US.

You pay the balance the day you have your pre-op tests in the form of a cashier's check. They do accept charge cards; however, they charge an additional fee for the use of them - I think like 3% -- get a cashier's check and you'll be safe. We've done it that way 2 times -- once for my surgery, once for Bearded's. As for the deposit, they will take a personal check.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
