Considering Gastric Sleeve in Mexico

[Tara* 0]

I’m considering having the sleeve done in Mexico with Dr. Hidalgo. I never imagined having surgery out of the country but my insurance will not cover the procedure. I was wondering if anyone who has traveled to Mexico for surgery would share their story with me and how they’re doing now after coming home.

Look up "My level 10 life" on you tube. She went to Mexico. She's been posting for a while, but if you go back a while, you can see the one where she talks about her experience.

I thought about it for a while - I live about 3 hours from the border. Even so, I wouldn't do it, it's too risky if you ask me. And I could not imagine how rough the flight back would be. Before I went to MX, I would see if there are any US teaching schools that would do cash pay (Or installment plan). I went to a teaching hospital even though my insurance could have went anywhere. In my case, the surgeon did all the work while the students observed. Even if it was a student that did the surgery, the surgeon/professor would observe the entire time - this is what is happening right now for my dental work being performed at the same school (And my dental insurance isn't very good).
