Self Pay questions

I am looking into going to Mexico and maybe even through this website. However, I am wondering about payment. Unfortunately with past health care bills, I do not have the best credit. Did anyone else have this issue? I am trying to see if any surgeon will take payments for the bulk of the fee before and then the rest after. There is just no way I would be able to have the full payment anytime soon and my weight is becoming a bigger issue since I stopped smoking. Thanks for any advice

Most places in Mexico require payment in full before surgery. It's not a problem. Just save up. It took me less than a year to save up for mine.

If you want to go that route then the best bet is to do self pay in the States. You can find doctors who will bill you out like that but you will pay far more than had you gone to Mexico.

Congrats on quitting smoking. However, don't let that be an excuse for a huge weight gain.
