I am contemplating having a surgery done in Mexico. I researched and got information. I am just curious if any of you have had positive or negative experiences?
I would have it done in America if I could afford it. It is 12000.oo dollars cheaper in Mexico and that included airfare, hotel and the procedure. Pretty Amazing.
I am thinking of a lapband or a gastric sleeve for weight loss. I have called some physicians in my area to ask about fills and their experience with patients that had their surgeries performed in Mexico only one responded back and said they were fine.
What are your experiences?

I guess I assumed both procedures were covered by insurance. I haven't had surgery in Mexico but would suggest talking with some of the patients (if possible) that had the same sugery in the same hospital. I hope it works out for you.

Don't both of those procedures really need a lot of followup if they are to work right? I know my niece continued to see her doctor for two years after her procedure.
But, my SIL had her teeth removed and got false teeth in Mexico and is completely satisfied. It was all done in one day.

A friend of mine who does not have medical insurance did quite a bit of research on "medical travel" and researched several countries including Mexico. She was researching dental work. Another friend researched eye surgery. BOTH of them had their work done in Hungary. They both said (and they don't know each other) that it was cheaper to travel to have it done in Hungary, the services in Hungary were top notch and highly rated and recommended, and they didn't have to worry about food or water issues. Hungary was overall a much safer place to visit as well. One of the frinds lives in Cal and obviously Mexico would have been much cheaper for her cause she could have driven, but was put off by some of the things she researched about Mexico medical (I don't remember what exactly).

Maybe the staff and hospitals have improved in the bigger city areas. No health regulations and even the ones they do have, no big deal if they aren't followed.
Oh I remember a friend whose FIL had a broken arm set while on vacation was telling how it took a lot tips to the hospital staff to get them to do much of anything without waiting for hours.
