February/March 2015 Self Payers in Mexico

Good evening fellow travelers. Since I haven't seen a group posting for February/March 2015 I thought I'd start one. I am interested in who you chose and where you're having your surgery. I have not set a date yet, but I will be talking with Katy Floyd (from A Lighter Me) on Monday to discuss setting a date and answering some of my questions. I am 49 years old (going to be a healthier 50's and beyond) man. I am a nurse,working in an ICU, and have been working nights for the majority of the past 27 years. I have decided on Dr Elias Ortiz, with A Lighter Me, in Tijuana, Mexico. I hope to share more of my story in the future.

Congrats @Melissa. So happy for you. I hope to share as much information on this site. I'm scheduled on March 4th in Tijuana.

I am officially booked for my VSG on March 17th with BeLite Weight. I am so excited and focused on this weight loss journey.

@@DroppinLikeItsHot - congrats to you. Your surgery date will be here before you know it. I wish you all the best.

I'm headed to the OCC with Dr. Ortiz on Feb 19

@@Andrea - I see your surgery date is tomorrow. You may not see this post before then, but I want to wish you all the best with your surgery and post-op. I'm sure you're super excited; I sure am!!!!!

I'm really scared about the flight and especially going by myself! Good luck!

Where did you get financing at?

I got financing through Lending Club. I got a great rate and was given a decision in less than a week

I got financing through good old Master Card. LOL... The 3% fee and the 9.9% interest on the card is cheaper than any financing that I could find. Good luck @Andrea

My surgery is Feb. 27th with ALM and Dr. Elias Ortiz. I'm very excited and nervous. I've done my research and i'm ready. Now just playing the waiting game.

Yes! I am currently getting my airline tickets

I have a question. Can reschedule my surgery if I have already paid the deposit? If the surgery is 4600 and I pay the 500, will my surgery cost 4100? Sorry it may sound stupid but I'm not familiar with debt/financing related stuff.
