scarbedazzles 74 Posted July 17, 2013 As of today I found out I believe I will be with Dr. Rod in TJ on August 21! I am both excited and scared to death. My companion will be my 16yo daughter. She will be great but then I start thinking about complications and her being there without my voice to guide. I also was beginning to wonder about Dr. Rod as I've not seen him on here too much. I have to say though....JoAnne has been my coordinator and she has been amazing! Every question has been answered almost immediately even though we've done it through e-mail. JoAnne also will be there for the surgery dates and that makes me feel much more comfortable. She was also a patient of Dr. Rod and she sings his praises. I've been waiting for this for quite some time. Seems to me that if you have surgery in the US, then you are covered by your insurance. If you go to MX, then you are self pay. I'd really like to know the complication % out of MX versus US. I believe more complications are US at least if what I'm reading here is true. I don't have a choice really....it's either go to MX... or no surgery. I can't believe the crap people give you if you tell them. It's as if they think you are just going to automatically get kidnapped or worse, the surgery will self combust. I can't say I have NO worries but after reading as much as possible, I think I'm ready to accept the risk. It's just happening soooo fast! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
