My surgery is booked for March 4th in Puerto Vallarta... my brother just found out what I'm doing and my mom hasn't talked to me since I told her I was going to do this 2 weeks ago.

I have no support from my family, and my brother told me to include him in my will :|

Here is the website...

Comments anyone?

Please god let someone have some positive comments!!!!

I'm thinking I'm going to wake up with no organs left... or that they're not actually going to do the surgery.. lol someone help me please!

No but your intention was clear. I don't think your opinions on a race of people belong on this great website' date=' we are here to give support & advice. As a Native person, I don't appreciate the insinuation, I came to your thread to give you support.

Was this even remotely helpful in any form. It seems like your out for a fight or attention. Why even try and start a fight and then claim this is for supportive people.

I think the point is, sadly there is crime everywhere. I've lived in Mexico FAR from any tourist town. Did I feel safe all the time?? No! But I never had any trouble whatsoever.

This website is very sad and unfortunate. I know in Canada there has been an increase of these kind of stories of Canadian travelers in Mexico. Last year almost 1.5 million Canadians visited Mexico. There were around 10 news stories. That's a small percentage. So yes, terrible things happen, but Don't let it stop you from going for something so important.

You know what, you are absolutely right. That is a very low percentage... and I bet you Canadians get killed at other destinations as well... but maybe don't hit the papers. it's just hard when you have an old fashion family who believes everything they see on tv.

Thank you

Yes my family is the same. I've learned there's not much you can do about narrow thinking you just have to live your life for you.

Maybeoneday- ok, take a deep breath, this is one big happy, supportive group here. (We're one big happy family...think of us as the cousins you've never met...lol). I am a MX Sleever, mine was done in Tijuana. You are going to be fine & I'm sorry your family isn't supporting your decision. It's very important to do your research on the Dr & the facility. You can provide them with as much information as possible to put both them & yourself at ease. Can s@#t happen, yes, I suppose it can. Is it likely to happen, not so much. If you have questions, make a list & ask both here on this site & address your concerns with the Dr. Best of luck to you & try not to worry.

Thank you
