I'm so scared to go to Mexico now.

I'm having surgery in a few weeks and my mother is everything but supportive. I told her I was having surgery but never told her that I was having my procedure done in Mexico. She basically told me to go a head and kill myself. My cousin also added into the conversation to spice it up like a hype man. They have me really scared to go. Telling me that Mexican in the drug cartel kill americans for our passports. I'm very ignorant to world news. I don't even watch the local news because she there's nothing good on it. I haven't heard of this whole war between Mexicans and Americans. I told her to stop being negative but I'm scared now thinking that although many people have gone to dr. kelly and have nothing happen to them, but what if that day isn't my lucky day and I'm abducted. Maybe I'm over reacting... *sigh* I wish i never told her where I was going and just did what I had to do. What sucks even more is i'm going alone by myself.

    Hi, you didn't say what city you are going to. I went to Mexicali and it is VERY safe. You family is uneducated when it comes to this. Remember this is ALL ABOUT YOU AND NOT THEM. You have to do w

Think of the coherent Drs as different airlines and the coordinators as the booking agent. Delta may be doing 18 flights one day, but you can still catch a ride thru expedia, Orbitz, Priceline etc

THinkingabout it : Glad you had such a great experience, and hope the sore and gassy feelings leave you soon :)

Can you tell me which group Laurie is with? contact info? I am thinking of Dr. Ponce, but was quoted much higher by others... THx

Laurie is with weight loss trips to Mexico. Just google it and her web page should pop up. Her telephone numbers are listed as well. I think you will be very pleased with Dr. Ponce!

I looked that up and it appears that some of those prices are special prices and are temporary. Or at least it says that in the website.

No, I just talked to Laurie last night, AND when I was in Tijuana she was talking to a prospective client on the phone and she quoted them the price I have listed above. Give her a call and leave a message.

It might take her a day or so to return your call when she called to check on my progress last night she was still in Mexico and then was going to do something with her family for a couple of days ( i think thats what she said) Anyway she just said she would be out of pocket for a couple of days.

Hope this helps!!

Oh I just loooked I see you are in Texas, not far from me. I would be glad to talk to you on the phone or even meet you somewhere and show you my incisions etc. Inbox me and we can exchange phone numbers! I am getting ready to shower and head to work so it will be this afternoon before I check the board!

150,000 Americans cross the border into Mexico for travel, tourism and business every single day. Of course you want to use caution and be smart, but honestly, the chances of anything happening to you in Tijuana are pretty slim.
