Pammie, thanks for your thoughts about the place in Arlington!
I'm not quite banded yet, I just made the appointment yesterday for May 9th. I am going to Denver because I wasn't quite 100% sure I wanted to go to Mexico and Dr. Kirshenbaum in Denver charges only $9950. Just a touch less than $2000 more for staying in the U.S. seemed reasonable to me. My father goes to Mexico though for all his procedures and I've read oh so many good experiences people have had there too so why I have issues, who knows, lol. Those issues are costing me another 2K, lol.
Another thing I like and might use is that I can get 3 free fills and then they're $15 afterwards. I think he uses the flourothingy... and I've been playing around with Priceline.com and have been able to snag $126 round trip tickets. I have a friend down there too... that'd eliminate rental car/hotel costs! But I like the idea of just cruising a few miles to Arlington. I'm very happy about this!
