Insruance problems and now considering Mexico

[IAmJacksLapBand 5]

Hello everyone,

I am working with surgeon #2 for my procedure and the frist one was nice but very difficult when it came to his team working with my insurance provider.

My current surgeon is wonderful but he has decided not to renew his contract with my insurance provider significantly increasing my financial contribution.

I have worked hard to be put back at square one. As an alternative I was considering traveling to Mexico for work there and then using my current surgeon for adjustments.

I know many bandsters have had their procedures done in Mexico and I am looking for success or caution stories in traveling there as an alternative to traditional insurance financing.

Thank you all!

Please be absolutely sure that this surgeon doesn't object to taking care of you post-op. More than one poster here has had difficulties with getting a surgeon who didn't do their surgery to do their follow-up care.

I know you don't want to start from ground zero, so request that the current surgeon give you a complete copy of your file. Then ask your insurance company to help you pick a provider who isn't going to pull out of your provider list in the next few months.
