SELF PAYERS...please give me your insight

@@SHANA55 - How successful you will be with self pay in Mexico would depend on several factors:

• Are you able to do your own research esp. on nutrician?
• Quality of the surgeon and facility. There was a fly-by-night shady operation in TJ for a while. Do your research. But note the facility I went to had a lower rate of infection than most in the US. When you go there you see why...big private rooms, not cluttered with all the stuff we cram in US hospital rooms (that they never sterilize) and they mop three to four times a day.
• How many risk factors do you have? (Substance abuse, heart et al).
• Odd note...How much emotional support do you have? There will be many freak out moments for no good reason.
• Have you dealt with the emotional issues which brought you to this place? Therapy recommended, but this book should be mandantory...http://www.amazon.com/Emotional-First-Aid-Kit-Practical/dp/0976852659/ref=sr_1_13?ie=UTF8&qid=1436729032&sr=8-13&keywords=bariatric+book

I did follow my own advise and it was easy and worth the $4000. Completely changed my life for the good.

Hi OKCpirate, I'm sure you've already said it somewhere on the boards before, but I have a hard time navigating here. If you don't mind me asking please, who did your surgery in Mexico and what hospital/facility did you have surgery in? Thanks
