The major one is my girls, and the less important is money. Also I have heard more good stories than bad about the healthcare system and from what Iv seen first hand although they dont have the latest in technology everyone is well educated which is what matters. Also after being a nurse in the U.S for almost 10yrs you learn to brush aside the horror stories. If I told you everything Iv been told or seen there you would never go to the doctor or a hospital again. ;) But seriously thank you for your concern, I take it in good heart. <br />Linda-Read my comment to Abby and take all you hear with a grain of salt and check it out for yourself. <br />Leah-Thank you for your story that is very comforting, heart surgery is much more invasive than a laproscopic one so if they can manage that down here Im sure they will have me covered. <br />Crystal- The thought of not having a bloated gassy stomach everyday and gall bladder pain almost everyday sounds so nice after almost 2 years of it.bordersasidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14142674938117338592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6553388201961125907.post-18120241942089978742010-01-28T16:21:30.645-08:002010-01-28T16:21:30.645-08:00I know that the gall bladder pain hurts.

I can't believe they were trying to make you wait because if I am thinking right your gall bladder can be dangerous. I hope you get it taken out soon and for me the recovery was not that bad.Crystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10307742066130632220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6553388201961125907.post-81495095863386765542010-01-27T17:56:55.090-08:002010-01-27T17:56:55.090-08:00Not to discredit Abby's experience, but my hus...Not to discredit Abby's experience, but my husband had a heart disease least year that required over a month of hospitalization to remove bacteria from his heart, then open heart surgery which required two heart valves being replaced. This drained some of our savings, but not near what it could have been, because fortunately he was accepted into a state gov. program funded specifically for heart disease patients, because we had just moved here and was unemployed. He was given several medications, the nursing staff and doctors were great. Like with most things in Mexico, it seemed to take forever to get things done, but in the end I would say they did an excellent job taking care of him. The surgery and his recovery over the past several months has been excellent, top-notch quality. If physicians are capable of fixing such a severe heart condition, I would trust them to handle a gall bladder as well. Of course, this is based on my experiences so far.<br /><br />I wish you the best in your endeavors, health and employment-wise, it will all turn out ok in the end.One Small Vozhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04966486789164013039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6553388201961125907.post-41497985226383318362010-01-27T14:29:53.330-08:002010-01-27T14:29:53.330-08:00very sorry to hear about your health problem, but ...very sorry to hear about your health problem, but thanks for sharing. We, too, have IMSS, but have never had to use it for anything. We do hear all kinds of stories, some good and some not so good. Good luck to you whatever you decide to do. hope you are feeling better soon.Linda Lou and Senor, Toohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15613830430224948974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6553388201961125907.post-83776583057854950512010-01-27T07:34:52.576-08:002010-01-27T07:34:52.576-08:00Amanda go to the US, Texas to get it done drive up...Amanda go to the US, Texas to get it done drive up there.. Not worth it down here. Having a baby is fine I would do that here, but not Gallbladder. My aunt had it done and a doctor in Mexico city for 30,000 and when she got home her entire stitches split open and they had to do another surgery at el suegro... Mexico city is said to have the best meds so OMG. I had to help her, she was in so much pain and no pain meds! They dont really give pain meds here, only for major things! You know there is a health insurance for the US and Mexico works in both countries. Blue Cross something, also Aetna works here and works in he US. It is mil pesos cada mes but you could have it for a month or two, or go to the US and let them pay for it... I would let them pay for it...Abby Lee Maciashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08035930300301038062noreply@blogger.com
