5. You're right, I did.

Plus the nice physical therapist came to my home afterwards!

4. India is another popular destination. A lot of top private Indian surgeons were trained in the UK.

Hungary is a popular destination for dental work. I know someone whose teeth were in a very poor state due to smoking, and went to Hungary to have every tooth replaced, over the space of about a week. It cost about $25,000.

6. Many people here in Texas go to Mexico for dental work and prescription meds

My last two crowns were done in Nuevo Progreso for less than $400. I also picked up a year's supply of blood pressure meds for $10, 100 100mg caps of doxycycline for $10 and 100 500mg amoxicilin for $10. All over the counter at the Farmacia. The margaritas were extra.

7. That's almost exactly what my hip replacement cost.

Thank heavens for Obamacare or I'd be running after bulls.
