It just occurred to me that despite many years of hearing about warnings to never drink the Water, eat the ice in Mexico... I haven't heard anybody talk about it on this forum?

Is it that these hospitals and hotels that are designated for Medical Tourism have really good filtration systems? Or has anyone experienced any problems with say... The ice?

I'm assuming the bottled water is fine.

I didn't have any ice when I was there only bottled water

I would only drink bottled water.. You don't want to have tourista before or after your surgery.

I bought American bottled water to drink and brush my teeth with. I just wasn't going to take the chance. I passed on the ice chips too since I was paranoid about it too. I have a friend that went on a mission trip to Mexico and picked up amoebic dysentery and got powerful sick, I sure didn't want something like that.

I drank bottled water that was bottled in Mexico, and ate ice chips from Mi Doctor. I brushed my teeth with the faucet water at both the hotel and the hospital. I had no problems at all.
