Yes Mexico Again

[sherri74]

Sorry guys!! I'm desperate!!! I know this topic has been covered before, but what is on here is almost 2 years old for the most part.

Has anyone recently had their surgery done in Mexico? It doesn't look like my insurance is going to cover my operation, so I've been researching Mexico, but there are so many options there. I don't know what the right decision is.

I've been dealing with this for over 6 months and I'm so exhausted already. I just want to have the surgery!!!

I know someone who had the sleeve in Mexico. I’m not in contact with her a lot, but I know that she was really displeased with the lack of information before hand, lack of support after, and she hasn’t lost much. BUT I can say that the person I’m referencing gained 40 pounds for the surgeon to even consider doing the sleeve for her, and that’s what she’s lost post op. I’m not saying that there’s anything wrong with it, but you’ll have to do your due diligence before and after to make sure that you have the best results.

I had a daughter that the sleeve done in Egypt. It cost $1200 start to finish. She had very little information as far as what she needed to do post-op - NO information about what NOT to do (alcohol-soda-stages of food --liquid, pureed, soft). We got it all figured out and she's lost the weight and kept it off for several years now. Surgery either in the US or outside the US all have risks. Best of luck to you!

Do you by chance have a hiatal hernia? if so that might be one way to get partial coverage. My surgery was done under insurance paying for the hernia and I paid out of pocket for the sleeve to be done at the same time. This was due to an insurance company change in the middle of my process. My original insurance was going to cover the entire procedure, the second insurance said I did not qualify.
