Mexico for elective surgery? Yeah, what could go wrong?
Supposedly, Mexico has some very good hospitals for the elite. I remember Schwarzenegger went down there to get a heart valve replacement because he wanted to keep it a secret from his wife.
I used to follow a woman on YouTube who went to Mexico for this surgery. She seemed OK at first, but has been in and out of the hospital, had temporary paralysis of the legs, and other recurring medical issues that were problematic but didn’t require hospitalization. As far as I can tell, has maybe lost 100 of the 500 lbs she started with.
It has now been around 3 yrs and I visit her videos on occasion - I don’t think this turned out the way she had hoped for at all.
