I have looked at this insurance but I am confused by the coverage time. They way I read it you are buying coverage for up to 30 days for the price quoted which depends on the coverage "Term" So if i am correct for a 10 day "Term" I would be covered up to $160K for ten days. Is this correct. Thanks

Hey fellow Augustinians, Bypass on the !st. for me in Puerto Vallarta with Dr. Hidalgo. Going a couple of days early to get some fishing and Golf in, enjoy the hotel. Not really too nervous about the surgery, more concerned about ho to adjust to eating for necessity rather than entertainment. It seems that our way of life always revolves around eating. Haven't figured out what to instead yet, maybe more fishing and golfing. On a serious note though, I am concerned about being able to drink enough fluids to stay hydrated. I work outside (Landscaping) in the Texas heat and humidity. I guzzle down a lot of Water and diet sodas now and still get cramps. Maybe I will have to retire and go fishing, we'll see. Good luck to everyone in the same boat

Newbie fat guy here, definitely going to Mexico for a bypass but i am totally lost on how to choose a doctor and facility. They all sound good. Just wondering how others have decided. Any recommendations are very welcome. I don't really care where in Mexico or cost (they seem very competitive anyway) just want to be safe and have a good experience with a great Surgeon. Thanks all y'all

Thanks to everyone, I have made my decision, Bypass August 1st with Dr. Hidalgo in Puerto Vallarta. I chose Dr, H because I was turned off by some of the other mass marketer (MBC for instance) it just seems like a numbers/sales game. After checking every avenue available, speaking with the facilitator (only one person) and patients I came to the conclusion that Dr. H is not a Doctor that is bragging as to how many thousands of surgeries they have performed (of which if you do the math and compare the years of experience that some doctors are claiming they must have worked 400 days a year and performed 20 surgeries a day) In the end I feel very comfortable with the my choice especially as I am getting a Bypass which is a more difficult surgery than the sleeve. Again thanks to a'll y'all PS dr. Ponce de leon was my second choice.

See that's what I am so confused about. I have looked all over the Internet and have not run across a Dr. Altamirano or the previous post Dr. Hidalgo. How did you guys find your Doctors. I am currently leaning to Dr. Louisiana Valenalzuela because I found her at Mexico Bariatric center she seems to be very qualified and will only do 3 surgeries a day. Also I asked the Facilitator if they were referring a family member who would they choose amd he said DR, V without question. I haven't found any negative about her, so that's where I am at. Thanks for your replies PS I am down the street from you in Cedar Park
