I was afraid to make this decesion as well. I finally decided to go to Mexico and have the surgery. I did not have any support from my family or friends. They all told me I was crazy to go to Mexico. My mom did decide to go with me to have surgery but she was still very much against it.. the night before we were leaving in fact she said she was not going and if I went I would have to go alone. To make a long story short she showed up at the airport and flew with me but she made sure I knew she was completely against this decesion. She now wants to have the procedure herself. She was impressed with the care that I received and with Dr. Ortiz and his staff. I was the only chicken in my group, everyone else was like no big deal... and they were right... things went wonderfully for me. I believe that a decesion like this is important and should not be taken lightly, however let me put your fears to rest regarding, Mexico, Dr. Ortiz, or the facilties that he uses. I can not speak about any other doctors or facilities, but you would be in good hands should you choose to have surgery with Dr. Ortiz. Good luck with your decesion.
