Well I had a seminar I attended today at a hospital in NC. It did not go well. The price looks to be for self pay 20,000 or so. Also they want 100 dollars to join some personal trainer at a campus where students are physical trainers. That part is required. Also they said I need to do a lot of tests before I can have surgery. It's not worth all the money and waiting. I want to go to Mexico!

I need details on where to go in Mexico. First do I need a passport. I'm looking into getting a passport card, just hope I can find my birth certificate. Also how long was everyone in Mexico for? I wouldn't mind getting there the day before surgery, then staying of course that day, but how long after surgery until I can leave?

Second - do I need any letters from my doctor? I hope not because I don't have a current doctor. I only see my obgyn and go to urgent care if I'm sick.

Third - where did you fly too? It seems most of you flew within the states, then a van met you and drove you across the border. If I go, I plan on going by myself. My husband told me today my money, my decision. I was shocked! Now I'm scared lol! I really want to do this and save money, but am I risking my life?

I wonder if I borrow 10' date='000 if that would be enough. I'm talking about using it for the down payment of 500-700, the round trip airline ticket, the surgery, pain meds and tips. Anything else?[/quote']

I would say it depends on the doctor.you choose. I went with Dr. Garcia and didn't spend over $6,000 including surgery, plane ticket (round trip), and incidentals....which were nearly none aside from buying FUZE, lol. I would say factor in flight, surgery, and money to shop if you choose and $50-$100 for tipping. Honestly you may come home with money left over. Hope I helped.

i tipped and had 100 for casino had one meal.
