Hi Judebo, I'm from KY too! Right outside of Louisville and origionally from Bowling Green. I have had the same insurance problems and finally decided to look into getting the proceedure done in MX. It costs less than 1/2, and there are a few with very good reputations there! The cost was important to me but so was quality. If you decide to go that route you need to make sure a local dr will take you on as a pt BEFORE going! I called the 3 teams in Louisville today and only one agreed to take me...thank goodness that at least one was willing! I got a loan for surgery thru my bank-hate that-but it is an investment in my life and if there is something that can add a few yrs to my life then it is worth it to me! My surgery date is Oct. 30th! Whoo hoo!!! I am excited but nervous! Good luck to you!

Please add me on to the tail end! My date is 10-30 Thanks!

Hi all, I'm being banded by Dr Ortiz in Tijuana on 10-30 also! Is it just me or are you all scared a little??? I feel confident but nervous.

Made the stew for supper last night as a suprise to my Mexican husband. I used the cod, shrimp and scallops. It was divine. He was thrilled and said it tasted like his mom's!!!-which is a huge compliment to me! Where he is from they use fresh chopped lettuce in their soups instead of cabbage so we ate it with lettuce. It was great and I was so proud...thanks for the truly authentic recipe!
