I used dr. Ponce de leon, He is based in TJ. I flew into San Diego and they drove me across the boarder and directly to the hospital.

2 nights in hospital 1 night in luxury hotel across the street from hospital. The hotel was super nice the bed super comfy and the TV channels are from San Diego. The shower was great and I loved having time alone to read and sleep and watch tv and walk around if I wanted to. Trish took me shopping on Sunday ( I had surgery on Friday). I went alone so it was nice to get out and see some of the city before I left. My favorite time was in the hotel. NO kids or husband needing me. No one to entertain I just loved it being me for a few hours.

I had an all inclusive except the flight.

I had a coordinator that was with me often. My Doctor was super attentive and saw me multiple times a day. I had amazing care in a private hospital called INT.

My cost was $5500. I know they have a special right now and I can put you in contact with my coordinator for those prices.

I swear the care I had was THE BEST MEDICAL CARE I HAVE EVER HAD.

My flight on southwest for $125 with early boarding.

I would do it over again in a heart beat.

I went through Ready 4 a Change with Dr Fernando Garcia. It was all inclusive, 3 days at the Marriott and 2 days in Florence Hospital. The care was incredible. That also included all meds for after as well. I paid $4700. I believe it was a special at the time but worth checking into. My flight was $280 round trip from St Louis to San Diego and the driver picks you p and takes you across the border both directions. Good luck with your decision.

I had Dr. Fernando Garcia and the price and inclusions were the same as Patti. I paid extra for my airfare to San Diego. I got there really late at night so I opted to stay the first night in San Diego at my cost. I stayed at their preferred hotel and paid about $115 for the night (that is with their discount for bariatric surgery patients). Driver picked me up from the hotel around 10am the next morning. I had a great experience.

Wow! What great prices compared to US! You have to have a passport to drive over, right? Sorry for that stupid question!

What is the wait time for a surgery date?

You will need a passport to get back into the US. If you don't have one, you can expedite your passport application for a fee--though I don't know what it is these days. I did read that you can get back in with proof that you've applied for a passport, but I encourage you to research that; it may no longer be valid.

I expedited my passport or $60.00 and I got it back in 8 business days and scheduled my surgery 6 days later in Mexico. Good luck to you.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
