Hi,

I just got back from having surgery in Mexico. Where are you going and are you using Medical Tourism? If you use medical tourism they will meet you in the hospital and they will keep you company before and after surgery. BiBi was with me most of the time I was there and she was wonderful. I'm not ready to go back but I had an awesome experience while I was there.

I am traveling alone on May 29 with surgery on May 30th with Dr. Curiel in Mexico.

I'm having mine at OCC with Dr Ortiz on the 26th but I am staying til the 30th. Maybe we could meet on 29th ( its my birthday) maybe I could give you a few pointers. Lol

Hi Sleevers!

My name is Terence and I'm from South of Africa , I am travelling end of May my surgery date is June 2 . Thanks to everyone for their experiences it

has made me to realise that sometimes we all want to achieve same goals !

Hey I live here in TJ, my date is June 8 but I will still be off work... What agency or clinic/hospital are you going to? Depending on the agency you should have someone to help you. But you could also message me for anything too. I know what it feels like to be alone in a different country, it's definitely out of most of our comfort zones. *tip ask your cell phone company if they have a mexico plan. Some offer plans where you pay a fee then have a certain amount of texts or min. Otherwise you may not like your phone bill. Also, turn off your data when you cross into mexico, the clinic should have WiFi... You can also use an app like Skype or text plus for free text and calls over WiFi. Also we're so close to the USA that we have lots of us stores here, you'll see Walmart, home depot and of course lots of fast food places, so you might feel more at home than you think!

I'll be arriving June 11 surgery date June 12 and I'll be returning home the 16th!

Where are you having your surgery? That's my date also. Dr. Jose Rodriguez.

I am having surgery at Florence Hospital with Dr Mario Camelo.
