First of all, make sure your medical facilitator has in it's staff medical support, that is several Board Certified Surgeons, that has lived at least 5 years in each city that he is recomending and that has both travel experience, medical knowledge and knows and can recognize every diploma, title and facility that he is recomending.
Get a direct Medical facilitator, because if you get a "medical facilitator" that has never visit the country he is recomending, he will probably have to hire another medical facilitator and that can increase your cost.
Make sure you plan your Medical Health vacations with a medical facilitator because is not as easy as planning only a vacations, you need to make sure they will be actually waiting for you, because you will have to pay at least half of the price of your surgery. If you look for the name of the doctor in the web you can find it but will be having the risk of dealing with complications in your reservations, hotel, tours, while recovering from surgery....to avoid any minimum problem is the goal of a Medical Facilitator, specially if it is approved by the government.
Ask for brochures of the city or state you are about to travel to. And ask for all the emergency phones and your embasy phone. Do not bring very expensive or unique jewelry or artpieces. Guns are prohibited in Mexico even if you are from the USA military, or if you have a permit to carry guns in USA. It is a Federal crime in Mexico.
Remember that you can travel with the letter that you have ask for your passport if you don't get your passport on time.
If you and your family stay away from drug related activities you are good.
If you are going to travel with kids or pet mention their ages so activities for them can be planned ahead while you recover.
Have with family or friends in the States copy of your passport or any other identifications, credit card info in case you loss something. That way they can fax or e-mail that info for you.
If you are worried that you can or cannot sue a foreign doctor, do not travel for medical procedures outside your country.
Look for healthtourism specialists like www.paodavymedicalservices.com that are backup with certified and experience medical doctors like Dr. Rufino R. Ruiz M.D. medical director of Artface Antiaging Center (Aesthetic Surgery, Cosmetic Surgery and Non-Surgical Weight Loss Retreat Camps for Food Addiction.
