TOPIC: Method of Payment - Dr C

I get on the plane tomorrow for San D! I\'m going back and forth on the method of payment. I don\'t really want to fly and/or drive across the boarder with $2500 cash but it seems like it might be the best option. If you have already been to Dr C could you please share what you used for the method of payment?

I have this vision of going through TSA and them questioning me about why I\'ve got so much cash on me...or same thing at the Mexican boarder.

Thanks Carl!Good Luck!Am sure it will go smoothly.

I\'m staying in the Gas Lamp district in San Diego. This is what Dr C\'s office recommend. I just grabbed the cheapest hotel out of brands that I knew (hoped) would be sanitary.

Yes, The Dr\'s staff takes your hotel info and tells you when the driver will be there. I didn\'t have this info when I first made the appointment. I just sent it a week or so later once I had made my arrangements.


**Thanks harleyman, that sets my mind at ease.

There is nothing to worry about, I just had mine done last Thursday and unless you tell TSA about the money they won\'t ask you. The driver will pick u up at the hotel and drop you at the clinic, you take the elevator to the office and pay them the $2500 of the procedure plus the $100 of the shuttle. The whole thing was a walk in the park and the drivers are supper professional so don\'t sweat it too much. I was freaking out just like you before I went there with all the Mexico stuff in the news and all but like I said it was uneventfful. TJ is a nice city and I didn\'t see anything that worried me. You may want to bring a little extra to buy souvenirs for the house while waiting to cross back to US like I did, my wife loved the stuff I bought her for the house.

His secretary called me back today. He is suppose to call me monday or tuesday. I\'ve read a few testimonies about it from different forums. Some were bad. Some were alright. A couple were good. The main thing I noticed is he is not really advertising it bc he says he wants to make sure it works b4 he puts it on the market. Does anybody have any info to add about this procedure?

This is incredibly off-topic. To start your own thread, click this link (which will return you to the General Phalloplasty Discussion main page) and select the \"New Topic\" tab on the top right hand side of the forum (directly below the \"Log Off\" button). When this happens, you\'ll be able to compose your thread as well as give it a (meaningful) title.

You\'ll also see that Dr. Runels has been discussed a number of times before both on this forum (try this sub-forum) as well as the old forum (Phalloplasty.proboards.com). The Search function can be useful too.

I ask we resume the original topic, thanks.

My only concern in the airport would be theft. So you may want to wear a money belt and watch it very carefully as you pass through security, but no, carrying 2500 will NOT raise any suspicions. People ofter travel with larger amounts.

Thanks for the response Bigben. I was referring to TSA for my flight into San D. I wanted to get the cash from my bank account at home and not have to try to find a bank and mess with it in San D. I get in after 11pm and the procedure is the next morning.

I agree about the wiring. I\'m very confident that I will not back out of the procedure...but just in case I don\'t want to wire it.

The more I think about it I\'m sure most folks just used cash. I\'ll just watch my belongings like a hawk through TSA (I usually do anyway) and not worry about it.

There is no TSA when you cross the border, at most a mexican official might question you but anything under 10K does not have to be declared so out of all the things you rightfully should be worried about, that should be at the bottom of the list.

Also if you wire money or send it paypal, and then decide the procedure is not for you, it is very unlikely you will get a refund. At least with cash, you are not committed until you hand over the money.

Just to complete this thread...I brought cash and everything was fine. I suggest this mothod of payment so nothing goes wrong.
