He Was Told to Wait 18 Months for a Hip Replacement. Instead, He Walked Out of Surgery in Mexico 10 Days Later—with His Life Back

Thousands of patients are stuck waiting in pain for surgery they needed yesterday. But in Mexico, there’s no waiting list—just board-certified surgeons, modern hospitals, and results that restore independence. Here’s how one man changed everything with My Medical Vacations.

“The pain didn’t take breaks. Why should I have to wait?”

That’s what Ron, 64, from British Columbia, told us.

He’d been living with:

• Sharp pain in his left hip
• Bone-on-bone osteoarthritis
• Difficulty walking, sleeping, even dressing
• A 14-month waitlist for surgery through his province
• And a private quote for $45,000 CAD—with no post-op recovery care

“I wasn’t just losing mobility. I was losing myself. I wasn’t going to wait another year.”

Then he discovered My Medical Vacations.
Thirty days later, Ron walked through the airport on his own—post-surgery, pain-free, and ready to live again.

Why Patients Are Flying to Mexico for Joint Surgery

Because they’re done waiting.

In Canada and the U.S., patients with joint deterioration are often told:

• “Let’s try more injections”
• “You’re not a priority yet”
• “Come back when it gets worse”
• “It’s not covered”
• Or worse: “Pay $50,000+ out-of-pocket”

MMV offers a real solution:

✔️ Top orthopedic surgeons
✔️ Modern, accredited hospitals
✔️ Private recovery + post-op nursing
✔️ Zero waitlists
✔️ All-inclusive packages with honest pricing

“I Was Walking Again—Without a Waitlist, Without Fear”

“I had no idea what to expect. I thought I was taking a risk… but this was more professional than anything I’ve experienced back home. The surgeon was brilliant. The care was constant. I walked the beach (carefully) on day 10.”
– Ron, 64, BC
