My
only
complaint
is
that
I
didn’t
know
about
medical
tourism
sooner!
As
a
nurse
of
16
years
and
a
20
year
veteran
of
weight
loss
wars
(mostly
losing
battles)
I
was
devastated
to
find
out
that
my
insurance
offered
no
rider
for
weight
loss
surgery.
I
felt
as
if
successful,
long
term
weight
loss
was
impossible
without
surgical
intervention.
I
had
lost
and
gained
100lbs
TWICE.
And
then
I
overheard
a
coworkers
friend
talking
about
medical
tourism
in
Mexico.
I
will
admit
my
knee
jerk
reaction
was
NOT
good.
But
then
I
started
researching.
After
a
month
of
careful
research
I
decided
medical
tourism
was
the
best
option
for
me.
I
was
shocked
at
how
affordable
the
entire
process
was.
For
less
than
the
out
of
pocket
costs
for
co-pays
and
deductibles
in
the
US
and
in
literally
a
fraction
of
the
wait
time
I
could
have
the
surgery
that
had
been
out
of
reach
for
so
many
years.
Once
I
settled
on
medical
tourism
I
began
the
process
of
researching
surgeons
and
medical
tourism
companies
as
well
as
facilities
and
cost.
Fairly
quickly
I
chose
Jet
Medical
Tourism,
and
I’ve
never
regretted
that
choice.
There
are
a
lot
of
companies
out
there
offering
discount
surgeries
and
promising
all
kinds
of
perks.
I
looked
past
the
sales
techniques
and
stuck
to
the
facts.
I
knew
I
wanted
a
highly
experienced
surgeon
who
specializes
in
the
procedure
(VSG)
I
wanted
(Dr
David
Vazquez)
I
wanted
a
clean
JCI
accredited
facility
(Clinica
San
Juan)
and
I
wanted
the
option
of
a
companion
to
travel
alongside
me.
I
wanted
a
surgeon
with
low
complication
rates
and
someone
who
performs
a
leak
lest
while
still
in
surgery
and
an
independent
leak
test
post-op.
I
wanted
individualized
care
and
I
didn’t
want
to
have
a
surgeon
who
does
6-8
surgeries
s
day!
I’m
a
PERSON
not
part
of
an
assembly
line.
I
was
one
of
TWO
surgeries
that
day
since
the
other
person
(my
sleeve
sister)
was
a
revision
patient
and
would
take
more
time.
I
never
felt
like
a
number.
My
nurses
were
impressive!
Most
of
them
spoke
excellent
English
Dr
Nadia
and
Dr
Vazquez
came
to
visit
often.
In
the
US
I
would
have
had
one
day
hospitalization
for
this
surgery.
I
had
2
nights
and
three
days
of
IV
fluids,
antibiotics
and
pain
management
in
an
inpatient
setting.
I
had
regular
assessments
and
attentive
care.
I’ve
never
received
more
thorough
competent
care
anywhere.
Jet
medical
tourism
as
a
company
was
easy
to
work
with.
They
handled
every
detail
so
I
could
focus
on
my
surgery
and
recovery.
Liam
and
Kent
answered
all
my
1
million
nurse
questions
(at
all
hours
of
the
night-sorry!)
and
were
able
to
coordinate
everything
from
my
FMLA
paperwork
to
my
ground
transportation.
They
even
found
me
great
flight
deals
and
recommended
places
for
my
travel
companion
to
eat)
I
never
once
felt
unsafe
in
Tijuana.
Our
driver
Rafael
was
a
gentlemen.
He
was
so
helpful
and
hilarious.
I
had
a
great
time
in
Tijuana
even
three
days
post
op
I
was
shopping
and
went
to
a
casino
in
TJ.
My
travel
companion
raved
about
my
experiences
as
well.
Jet
medical
tourism
put
us
up
in
a
beautiful
hotel
with
a
full
spa
and
it’s
own
casino.
If
you’re
on
the
fence,
do
it!
It
was
the
best
4K
I’ve
ever
spent!
I’ve
never
thrown
up,
not
once.
My
pain
was
negligible,
and
I’m
already
feeling
better
than
new.
I’m
17
days
post
op
and
down
30lbs!
Best
of
luck
with
your
surgical
journey.
Jet
Medical
is
the
right
place
to
start!
