Change Of Plans

Going to mexico!!

The crazy thing is, I have never even considered going for surgery.

But something in me changed. I think mostly i am just fed up.

I was paying cash for my surgery where i live. Not only is it 3 times the cost of going to Mexico,

But I also paid 2k out of pocket for testing. Then when I had a date, i was so excited and then got a call that

I needed to be rescheduled for a month later. I had worked my butt off to jump through every hoop (not insurance company hoops)

I was heart broken. So, after reading through hundreds of posts on here, my husband and i sat down and made a decision.....Mexico!

I got in touch with Dr.Kelly yesterday and by the end of the day I had a surgery date, flights, everything!

I feel so at peace with my decision.

So now I have questions.......What is the area like? Did people go with you? Did you like the hospital/hotel? Did you feel safe?

I can't help you with your questions. but just wanted to say good for you for taking charge of the situation and making the decision. I sometimes wish I could, but I have to wait out the insurance scheme.

My surgery is with Dr. Kelly tomorrow. They pick me up at 10 a.m. I'll post as much information as I can during the process.
