I had a call from my rep with BeLiteWeight this afternoon. She said that they received notice this morning that Hospital Angeles in Tijuana will be closing. Has anyone else heard this?

She said that the hospital was raising their rates drastically, even for those already on the schedule, and so BLW was rescheduling all of the patients they had booked there.

I'm disappointed because this hospital is where I felt most comfortable having my surgery done in March. Now I will have to choose another?

Hosp Angeles seems to be on par with comparable high end US specialty hospitals. I will be staying there 4 nites. Compared to other TJ facilities it is quite more expensive.

Almater Hosital in nearby Mexicali costs even more. I believe Dr. Wilhemly charges $8500 for 3 nites. It is supposed to be a very good hospital.

It's a tough choice but you have to decide what works best for you.

Money is the main reason why many of us are having surgery in Mexcico.

Dr. kelly is very good. Perhaps you can speak to him directly about the other facilities.

I like the idea of recuperating in a resort like terrific hospital in a foreign country but that is what I want and am willing to pay more for it

I truly like Dr. Ramos Kelly and Dr. Ariel Ortiz and want one of them to be my choice. I made a request to find out what the cost is for Dr. Ariel Ortiz today and hope to decide on who I want by mid week. I have to set a date soon but also am trying to apply for my passport card this week as well. I already got my loan from the lending club that only took 3 days and now its just getting to who I choose and where I feel safe going to.

Rocky1 when is your surgery?

Vsg with ortiz at occ is 6500. I think it is the second option in TJ to Corvala and hospital Angels. Angeles probably thinks they can charge 1000 more because it is a real full scale hospital. I will stay at hospital angeles five nights.
