Hello, I'm Rebecca and I live in New Zealand. I was thinking of going to India for mine but have since read A LOT of North Americans go to Mexico (I was born in Toronto) so I've changed my mind and going through "alighterme.com"

I am going to pay for a friend to come with me but I think cancun or PV look nicer then tijauana but everyone I've heard of goes there? I want her to have a nice time while I'm in the hospital or napping once back at the hotel. It costs a little more but she's doing me a huge favour and taking time off work.

Has anyone got any story's of other places in Mexico? Thank you ????

You may also want to repost this in the Self-Pay Mexico sleeve forum at the bottom of the main forum page!

Thank you! Still kinda finding my way around ????

Rollargirl, I also used alighterme, I had a great experience. I went to TJ though, but feel free to PM me if you have any questions I can answer for you. Congrats on your decision!!

Thank you! I'm loving ronda - I feel like I'm a pain in the ass with all my questions about dates & drs but she's always so nice!

My fried who can hopefully come works for air nz so we can get SUPER cheap flights to LA which means I have a little more to spend going to the "beachier" looking places so its nicer for her. (Yes i know i cant swim and will need to have naps and relax) she's getting leave from work so I want it to be worth her while too.

But if the drs aren't as good than safety obviously is #1 .... Everyone on here went to tijauana lol

I am going to Tijuana and have heard the Marriott there is very nice.But i think going to Puerto Vallarta or Cancun would provide a more interesting experience for your friend. I also learned that a lot of the bariatric doctors practice medicine in more than one place. Tijuana is just convenient and MiHospital is located only 3 blocks from the border. I think that's why you hear so much about surgery in that area.

Yes I think the drs must move around because there's only 2 days then later in the month 4 days where they're available? I'm learning a few names on here but to be honest I haven't seen any "stay away from this dr" ... Yes I think as a thank you to my friend (as well as paying her ticket) cancun would be much nicer for her.

Thanks ????
