Insurance and safety for self pay vsg

[Softtacocrumbs 12]

Hi everyone,

I'm thinking of going to Tijuana for my vsg. Specifically I was thinking of going with the all inclusive Dr. Elias Otriz (https://eliasortiz.co/about/#). I was wondering if I should buy any insurance since I'm considering it. I know it's a safe procedure, but I can't help, but be a little scared. Friends who have gone through it, can I get your support and suggestions?

Thanks!

I didn't buy any travel or catastrophe insurance. I got a quote and it was crazy expensive. I figured I had done my research and made the decision, so the insurance was a bit overkill, but I completely understand why some folks get it.

I've posted here a few times about my surgeon and experience, so I won't bore you with the details, but feel free to check out some of the other posts for personal experiences!
