Newbie Here---Anybody had surgery in Cancun?

[abmc 5]

I am just beginning my research. I will be self pay, and so am probably not going to get to have my surgery until January of 2014. I am wondering if anyone has had their surgery in Cancun and if so, if you could share with me a little of your experience and what doctor you had, where the surgery was performed, etc. We were thinking of going a few days early and having a mini vacation, with the surgery on the tail end of the trip.

I was hoping you would get some replies. I'm scheduled for June in Cancun. I have found a few posts by people who went to Cancun, but not many. However, I am feeling confident about it and looking forward to it.

If you don't mind my asking, which doctor are you going to? I was hoping to get more responses to. I have checked out the "ready 4 a Change website but I want to make sure the surgery is in a hospital and not a strip mall. I also would like to find a package where the hotel room has an ocean view. I hope some more folks chime in. Congrats on your surgery coming up. Thanks for you response.

I'm going to Dr Perez through Ready 4 as Change. Alma is my coordinator. She has been great and I am feeling very confident about my choice. My hubby is extremely supportive, too. I don't know if rooms will all have ocean views at the hotel, but it is right on the beach and looks very nice. I don't think the clinic is a strip mall.

Best of luck to you too! Hopefully we will hear some more from people who have been to Cancun.

FABby40 you are on my mind today. it's the 22nd and so you are probably having your surgery today or yesterday? I hope you are okay. I look forward to hearing all about your journey to Cancun. Sending you lots of good wishes for a smooth and speedy recovery!

Hi abmc, thanks for the well wishes! I had my surgery on Saturday, and everything went smoothly. I am recovering at the coolest resort I've ever seen, Westin Lagunamar. I will write up everything when I get back, but so far so good!

Yay! I'm so glad to hear you are okay and things are going well. I saw the pictures online of the resort...that is where we are going to stay too....is it as beautiful as it looks? I can't wait to hear all about your whole experience. Get well and stay safe. I don't know you but I hope to get to know you here and I will keep praying for you!

Thank you abcmc. The resort is MORE beautiful than what I was expecting from the website. It was so awesome. Yesterday I really got to enjoy it. Laid out almost all day at the beach! Even went in the ocean, incisions and all! (Doctor said ocean okay, but no pool, so enjoy the pool BEFORE surgery if you can). I'm on the plane on my way home, feeling pretty darn normal. I will post everything by this weekend! I truly can't believe I'm in the other side now!
