  1. I had a US Amazon Prime account but when I relocated back to Lakeside I switched to Amazon Mexico.  Can't say enough good things about them.  Prime is two day delivery max.  Some things that come from the US take longer.  I use a US credit card.  I'm not sure who the delivery people are but I live in Chula Vista and have ordered maybe four or five items from Amazon Mexico with ZERO problem or delay.  They are very good about emailing you with the status of your order or you can go online and check on it.  Highly recommend.

  2. Went for a procedure a couple of weeks ago.  Not a bad experience and certainly better than going to Guad since I wouldn't have been permitted to drive afterward so would have had to taxi and bus.  However, it was I thought on the pricey side and both the doctor and anesthesiologist required that I pay them cash after the procedure apart from the regular hospital bill which I was able to pay by credit card.  I'll probably go to Guad if the need arises in the future but it's nice to have the new facility here for emergencies.  

  3. I had one performed yesterday at the new Hospital San Antonio here in Ajijic by gastroenterologist Dr. Daniel Briseno.  The total charge was $14,580.  I had a polyp removed which was sent to the laboratory in Guadalajara for biopsy which added an extra $1,680.00MX to the price. so without the biopsy the charge would have been $12,900MX.  I paid the doctor in cash, $6,000, and the hospital bill was $8,580.00.  The crap you have to drink the day  before the procedure, 4 packets/2 liters total, cost $500MX.  It was done under partial anesthesia so not much discomfort.  Believe me, the prep was far worse than the actual procedure.  Nice new facility here and very courteous staff.  Overall a good experience.
