Benefits of self paying in the states vs mexico

[feller2005 6]

Im wondering if your are self paying what are the benefits to having surgery states side. I'm assuming you get post-op care for x amount of months.

If you do the surgery in Mexico is post-op all on you, examples figuring out diet, local support groups. I know I'll need the emotional support and chatting with others about their experience to be successful and stay motivated. So I wondering if I should pay the extra money for local support. THOUGHTS??

My first thought is complications... if something goes wrong in the short term (after MX) you have to deal with a local physician/facility and get them up to speed on you. Will they be able to get medical records from MX? If something was done inappropriately and you find out only afterwards, what is your recourse? Can you sue someone in another country or will they tell you to piss off? If your surgery is botched, will your insurance throw a tizzy to get it fixed; refuse to pay for repair, etc.

Tons of iffy questions.
