I started looking into the sleeve and found out right off that this was an excluded surgery by my insurance. I then started looking around at several sites and all were great. I chose belightweight and Jessica was assigned as my facilitator. Jessica sent me info about locations, prices ($6700.00 for the all inclusive package blood work, EKG,chest xray,surgery, 2 days hospital stay, 1 day motel stay, transport to and from San Diego airport to the hospital)pre and post op diets and a medical questioner and a referral list. I started calling people on the referral list and they all had great experiences with Dr. Rod. Filled out info and picked the 26th. Sent in my $500.00 deposit and now I wait. Any info on Dr. Rod or INT hospital would b great. I will keep this updated as I go.

87 pounds in a month that's amazing -
I guess I should proof read my posts, Mexico is about a quarter the price.

Dr. Rod in TJ on 02/26/11
Orangemustang replied to Orangemustang's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Well it is done. I arrive at the San Diego airport and was picked up by Alberto. I was taken to INT hospital given some tests and was in surgery . I got out of surgery and started to feel nauseous and was sick for 17 hour. They tried giving my stuff through my iv to stop it but it just hung on. First night had to b close to hell, I kept being sick and all I wanted to do was go to sleep. Night 2 was a lot better and when we were moved to the motel for the third night it was a lot better. The only thing I really notice is I get a knot ever once in a while in my stomach. Now I'm sitting in the airport and things seem pretty good. -

I will let you know, I have been scheduled for the sleeve on 02/26/11. I'm sure we have the same? What will happen in TJ, what is the hospital INT like, how is the Dr Rod. At this time I have called several people on belightweights referral list and all had great things to say about their surgery but they may not include people who haven't had a good experience. The cost was good at $6700.00 but only good if there r no problems. I will post again so u know what I went through.
