Dr Garcia self pay Mexico
rnursewillis replied to Wendim's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
you will do great. had mine with dr. garcia on the 19th and would do it again in the blink of the eye. just make sure you take something with you to do for the couple of days you have to wait before you fly home, sitting around hotel gets boring. they do give you free internet if you ask for a password at checkin. let me know if you have any questions will answer them the best i can. walmart 2 blocks in a little shoping mall. taxi cab ride 5 dollars american. -
Dr Garcia self pay Mexico

call alma with ready4achange she handles all dr. garcia's scheduling and gives you a quote. if you bmi is less than 50 it is cheaper. i think it runs between 4500-4700 for bmi less than 50 for bmi greater than 50 i think it jumps to 5200 but dr garcia and his team are great. the price includes everything including meals, transportation from airport, hotel, shuttle to hospital for surgery, 2night 3 day hospital stay, 2 night 3 day hotel stay, and transportation from hospital to hotel and also transporation back to airport. It coves all lab, xray, anesthesia, medical drs, surgery, and follow up in hotel following surgery. there was 4 of us that went and had it done, all did good following surgery, are home now and still doing good, very good dr. and very good choice, his name is dr. fernando garcia, but like i said alma at ready for a change handles everything. its safe and if you don't have anyone to go with you, you will be okay, everyone is really nice. -

i was there with you. I think i met you and your sister as we leaving on fri morning. I am the mother of the 4 of us that had surgery, my son, daughter in law, and my son's girlfriend all had it done at the same time. i am sending you a friends request would love to follow your progress as we had it done on the same day. I totally agree. Things couldn't have been better. Hotel, hospital, surgeon, nurses, drs, xray, housekeeping, transportation couldn't have been any better. tell your sister i said hi. -
