I never thought I'd be considering Mexico! Here I am though. It's not just about the money either. I haven't seen one bad review from an actual patient at Mexicali bariatric. Anything can happen of course but if I have a complication it'll be handled regardless. I'd rather it not bankrupt me...

I put myself in his shoes and I wouldn't want him to go without me so I won't tell him no. I do get where he's coming from. I had my sleeve with Dr. Nicholson and they wanted to send me home sick as can be and he refused. I was so out of it from nausea meds and painkillers I wasn't really sure...

I'm really considering him because I wouldn't have to take out a loan. I could have that money put up before next summer and have all of my travel expenses. Did you use any kind of leave from work? If so did they fill out everything for you? That's been the one question I've asked them and...

I would love nothing more but my husband is a horrible worrier and is insistent on going! I guess he thinks if a problem comes up the surgeon will come get him for help? When I had our son I ran into a few complications so they took our son and tried to get my husband to go with them he refused...

If you were self pay and POSSIBLY staying in the US how would you finance the surgery? I know I'm looking at $25-32,000 if no issues arise. My husband has excellent credit so that shouldn't be an issue if we need to apply for a medical loan. But obviously I'm wanting to save as much as possible...

Thank you so much! I messaged them and asked about the bmi. I'm running into another issue which may force me to stay in the US for surgery. Apparently all the offers to watch my 6 year old son were only good if I never took anyone up on the offer :rolleyes: so now my husband and I are looking...

Oh that's terrible! I'm the kind of person that wants a 2nd ekg "just in case" I understand wanting it done sooner but you have to stay safe. I'll have to find out about the bmi I'm right around that cutoff. Thank you so much for answering my questions!!

Thanks! That's not shocking! I never thought I would go to Mexico but at the same time I've been treated terribly and got sick in American hospitals and end up paying tons more than I should have! I contacted their office and got a price I'm seriously considering it! The did all your pre-op...

I think I'll probably need my sleeve actually redone as well. I haven't had much restriction, even in the beginning I didn't. However I have really been considering him. I never thought I would but it maybe worth it. I have heard stories about people not being able to find doctors that will...

Well we got ahold of HR and they said they could give us a list of what we signed up for like vision, dental, etc. but anything else would have to go through insurance. Which we're going to call again because I think the lady wasn't really understanding what we needed. I did call insurance and...

That's very true I didn't think about that. Who should I get in touch with about getting my EOC? My husband's employer or UHC? Thank you all for the advice!

I'm definitely going to call tomorrow and get the evidence of coverage. I wasn't aware this existed until I saw it on here this weekend. Unfortunately I had to get involved with this on a 3 day weekend I'm just shocked because I haven't heard of a 5 year waiting period with any insurance...

Hello all. I'm curious if anyone has ever heard of this restriction. United healthcare paid for my sleeve in 2014. I'm wanting a revision to DS with Dr. Ayoola. I gave them all my info, his office called and left a message that said I have a $50,000 limit on bariatric surgeries. Which I knew...
