Hi... I have taken several different SSRI's in the past. I felt really agitated/irritated on Wellbutrin. Are you open to trying acupuncture for your grief and/or depression? My partner died last June. Slowly I got off the SSRI's with acupuncture. Chinese medicine is wonderful and has helped me so much with my grief. Acupuncturists know the points.

Can you help me?? How do I post in this section? Seems like I can only reply.

My sleeve surgery is March 24 with Dr. Rodriquez in Tijuana. This will be my second surgery with Dr. R and coordinators from "Beliteweight". I trust Dr. R and have had no issues with them. Excited and nervous! The sleeve is a big deal.

Hi.... Find out how long the process is through your insurance. If it's too long of a wait/process then check out "Beliteweight." I went through them to finance my surgeries. First I had lap band by Dr. Rodriguez in Tijuana, Mexico in 2013 and now I am having revision surgery to the sleeve. Dr. R is the best!! I can let you know how my sleeve surgery goes if you want. It is scheduled 3/24.

Hi!

Had anyone had breast/upper arm lift in Tijuana, Mexico? If so, can you recommend a doctor? How much? I had my lap band done in Mexico with much success;)

Thank you, Neisha

Hi All--

I am looking for a new fill doctor besides Dr. Kelly Fitzpatrick. Anyone have recommendations? I had my successful surgery in TJ, Mexico.

Thanks!!

Ummm... Have you guys talked to people who have had lap bands in Mexico?? Dr. Rodriquez (see Beliteweight.com for his bio/resume) is a leading lap band surgeon. They use Alergan brand lap bands. There is no gauze left in your body. That's funny though. I have done a ton of research and talked to many references of people who have had lapband in Mexico. Please don't spread the fear about getting surgery in Mexico. Talk to people first. In fact I'll let you know how mine goes next Friday Februrary 22;). Yay!!! Only 5K in Mexico and my follow up care/fills will be $150-190 here in Portland.

The only thing I would check out in Mexico is the size of the band. They use a lot of 4cc bands which they don't use in the states anymore because of problems. Mine is 14 cc.the companies sell them to Mexico cheap because us doesn't want them.

I just called my coordinator at "Belite Weight" and asked her if my doctor, Dr. Rodriguez uses a sub-standard band and questioned her about cc sizes. She said that Dr. R uses standard Allergan bands and cc sizes are dependent upon personal BMI. Do the research on each doctor, don't assume!
