I just had an initial consultation with a Dr here in the USA & they are quoting me $24,850 for my total surgery costs. Ugh.

So I am now thinking of being sleeved with Dr Kelly. But DH is not sure he could get time off to come with me, or would mean bringing the kids with us.

So wondering if anyone went alone to MX & were you okay not having someone there, just in case?

Mynewbegining2....Thank you so much!

This is probably going to sound weird since I am having major surgery but I want to sight see while I am there. I have never been to Mexico or California. I want to go the beach and see the ocean in Mexico and shop if possible. My husband is going with me and I don't want him to be bored the whole time he is there lol. How nice is Tijuana?

I see alot of you went to México? I would like to know how did you make the decision on which doctor to chose. I might have to consider this if they don't schedule my surgery date before my insurance expires.

I did alot of research with people that went to Mexico first of all and then I talked to people on here that have used the surgeons and the hospitals. I am pleased with my decision and at peace with it. I can afford it and I will be going back for plastic surgery next year hopefully is all goes according to plan.

I am going to mexico on May 10th. I talked to a lot of people here and did a ton of research on my own else were. I chose Dr. Kelly to be my surgeon. I also called and talked to Dr. Kelly before making my decision. if you are considering mexico, you will learn than most mexican surgeons have a lot more experience on the sleeve than most USA doctors and they are also more willing to talk to you. Dr. Kelly spent an hour talking to me on the phone even before I had choose him as my doctor. I have never encounter a doctor here willing to do that. Good luck!

Thanks all, I feel so much more at ease going alone now! Also even more confident in my decision to go with Dr Kelly!

Kbs1010... couple of silly questions for you (or anyone else that was recently sleeved by Dr Kelly).

Did they give you drinks for the hotel, or help you to go buy some? I am worried about how I will buy Water or broth or gatorade, or whatever fluids I am meant to drink. Silly thing I know.

Also how much did you tip whomever drove you around? I was thinking to give them $20 after they drop me off at the airport? Or should I tip more? I am planning to maybe get my teeth whitened so will need them to drive me to that too.

No, it doesnt sound weird. I think deep down I didnt go out because I dont know how to have a good time without eating and drinking. I have to get over that, I guess. Back in the day, I used to go to Tijuana and have a good time. Drink, eat, drink,eat and buy trickets So I understand why people want to explorer. I never been to the beach in Tijuana, but the beach in Cabo and Mazalan was crystal clear. Im sure they share the same Water, I think ? You will enjoy Tijuana and San Diego.

Great slideshow, thanks! I know I will be taking lots of photos when I am there as I am a scrapbooker!

Silly questions for you... how do you warm up the chicken broth then & did they give that to you or did you have to go buy the chicken broth?

Do they give you any gatorade or anything else or did you have to go out & buy the stuff?

Oh, good questions. No they only service 1 free broth a day. Which got cold quick and still needed warming since you can only take tiny sips. Then you had to purchase the other items from the down stairs which was adding up quickly. So on day 4 I walked across the street and bought my. Day five I was at a hotel in San Diego and it didn't offer room service at all. When are you going and whose your Dr?

I will be going with Dr Kelly & hoping for a surgery date of May 10th. Just waiting for confirmation of that date!

You,ll do great. Good luck, let me how everything works out

I went alone and was sleeved by Dr Garcia. The staff was wonderful. Just make sure you have a contact number for them when you go to the hotel. Also I was taken early to the airport and had a five hour wait. But I think you can negotiate your departure to the airport.

I had mine in mexicali. I live by the border but I had my husband there the hole time. I did need him to help me or even to call the nurse. I had mine in a verry good hospital there. I think he will even pick people up from the air port but not sure. I also would like to say see the hospital were your having it done.
