To Ready to be Thin - and anyone else who seeks gastric bypass surgery in Mexico particularly through the company known as Belite or www.beliteweight.com Be aware that things are not as they seem. My fiance had surgery on 3/27/09 in Mexico - things were not good!!!!
We left and came back into SanDiego he got sicker and sicker we went to ER on 3/30/09 and he was admitted and emergency surgery performed. He is still in hospital today 4/11/09 the surgeon here says he may not be released until 4/16. That makes 16 add'l days in hospital due to the poor care in Mexico!!! I am not just saying any of this we have lived through it and not even out of the woods yet! DON'T RISK YOUR LIFE. Belite has facilitators who are good at selling the dream of being thin or looking good but they smoooth over those individuals who have bad experiences. True you can have bad experience here in the US. But at least in the US the nurses can communicate with you! At least in the US they follow the Centers for Disease Control's Standards of Practice and Universal Precautions.At least in the US we have surgeons who are ethical and have a medical licensing board to govern them. I am not to the bottom of my investigation of Belite and we certainly will do everything in our power to at least try and get the word out about this company. Old saying - if it sounds too good to be true then it probably is. Never has this saying been more true. I am sure the hospital bill here is in excess of $75,000 and climbing. Beware!!!!!
