2013 Surgery Anyone?

How does the procedure works? Do you have to fly out there before surgery? Or what?

So I'm just curious lets say u get sleeved in Mexico and god forbid something bad happens because of the VSG surgery I can go to any hospital here in NYC? And how does the insurance thing work in Mexico?

Every insurance company is different but most likely they will take care of you coverage you would have to check with your insurance company

That is your options if you like to go there before and meet the doctor and see the facility you can but most people do all the research on the doctor and the facility and then fly there and have there procedure

Oh ok thanks girls, another question my health insurance may work in Mexico? I'm supposed to be getting surgery here in NYC but thing have got difficult for me then past appointments. I don't wether I'm going to

have it here paid for by my health insurance or might take that out of pocket and go to Mexico.

If something happens to you after having surgery in Mexico, you can go to the hospital but most of us self pay patients have insurance policies that excludes weight loss surgery or any complications resulting from weight loss surgery.

My opinion, if your insurance covers it and the out of pocket is similar to what you would pay in Mexico, I would still have the surgery in NYC. I would also try to choose a surgeon that has the BLIS insurance which protects you in case you have complications.

If your out of pocket is that high (above the cost of surgery in Mexico and the airfare), then Mexico should be an option.
