We're going to Mexico!!!!

It's not exactly what you think. Yes we are going to Mexico, but no it's not for a vacation. I have decided to get the gastric sleeve surgery and because of the cost, and insurance not paying anything, we are going to Mexico. The decision was a daunting one on has not been made with out considerable study and prayer.

      Anytime I tell anyone what I'm doing they always ask; Are you worried about going to Mexico? My answer is no. There are alot of cities right her in the the good ol USA that have a higher crime rate than Tijuana.
     The crime that is reported on the news from Mexico is always the most salacious kind. Drug dealers are killing one another not fat Americans getting surgery. The following are the top 5 reasons I am not worried about going to Mexico:

1. Logistically kidnapping a 400 pound american is a nightmare. How many banditos does it take to carry someone that big?

2. People going to Mexico for surgery are not rich. That's why we are going to Mexico for medical care! We have no ransom money!

3. You can't kidnap and then force a 400 pound person to mule drugs over the border.
First of all we are really easy to spot from the air and secondly the sweat trail is too easily tracked through the desert.
* I have heard there are less reputable companies than the one I am going through. These companies bring you across the border into Mexico and then load the fatties up with bails of weed. Then a coyote drops you off in the Arizona desert to find your way back.  With this method you start out a large white person and emerge on the other side of the border a small brown person. Kind of like Biggest loser meets Survivor man. 

4. The hospital we are going to has a driver meet you in San Diego and then they  bring you across the border to the hospital. Trying to hide 6 fatties in the truck of a Monte Carlo through customs is also good for sweating out at least another 5 pounds of water weight each.

5. The final reason I am not worried about going to Mexico is...Sara Palin can see it from her house!

All kidding aside I am excited for the opportunity I have to go and get the life changing surgery. I have every confidence in the Doctors and Staff of Mi doctor hospital where I am getting the procedure done. I want to help anyone else out there that may be considering this type of procedure to see the steps from A to Z in getting it done in Mexico. Thousands of Americans go to Mexico every year to obtain treatment for a myriad of problems they can't afford to get fixed in the U.S.
        I am making a series of short videos to walk people through my experience and hopefully give them courage and a little information that they need to make such a big decision. The videos will also serve to keep my family in far off places informed on the experience and my progress.
For the rest of you looky loos, looking for a cheap laugh,  I am just trying to get as many fat jokes in before I loose too much weight and have to turn in my fat card and forever loose my right to poke fun.
