@Cpillin425 she had to go there because she can't afford medical insurance, and doesn't qualify for Medi-Cal, the operation here in California would have cost at least $10,000-$15,000, maybe even more, and my parents would have been years into this debt...guess what, problem solved. top notch Mexican doctors, top notch service, top notch clinic, she will be out by monday probably.

My mom was operated in Mexico today, apparently the doctors consider this to be one of the most common surgeries. No sweat, it only took her three days, the analysis, and the operation on the third day after the doctors gave the go ahead, lasted two hours and some minutes, she was in and out. Pain was minimal, if any at all, she said it didn't hurt one single bit. best of all it only cost $2400 american dollars.

I thank Dr. Jacoby and Dr. Kerlan for this video. I have been recently been diagnosed with a fibroid about approximately 5 cm long. I have one child, and would like to have more someday. I have been getting the runaround from Kaiser Permanente and was told my only option was a hysterectomy. I was also told UFE and myectomy were procedures for women who do not desire to have anymore children. This video help me understand more about fibroids and my treatment options.

This video has helped me to understand exactly what I am up agains, and I want to say thank you very much for taking the time to help us women get the anwsers to the many questions we have.I am tired of strangers asking me how many months pregnant I am because of my enlarged uterus and multiple fibroids, Thank you again!
