Anyone Gone To Mexico Alone For Surgery?

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.

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.

From the looks of things, I'll be traveling alone. My aunt wasnt able to get the time off of work and my husband will be long in Alaska by then, bummer!

I am using a lighter me and going with Dr. Garcia my surgery is on May 7th! I am so excited.

I will be leaving the day of your surgery!... Wish April would just zoom on by!!
