Getting sleeved 10/29 in Juarez (Star Medica) w/ Rodriguez

[jmgsearch 0]

Hello everyone --- I have been reading (and researching) this board for the past few weeks and thought I would take the liberty of formally introducing myself. My name is Jennifer and I'm 30 (31 in Nov) and will be sleeved on 10/29. I currently weigh approximately 188lbs and I stand 5'2 or so and looking to lose about 65lbs. This surgery is like a birthday gift to myself. Absolutely needing a real kick in self-esteem in the upwards direction. I am curious if anyone else around this time is headed to Mexico, specifically Juarez during this time. If so, I'd love to hear from you.

Thank you,

Jennifer

I had a friend that went to Star Medica and had Dr. Jose Rodriguez, she said she was treated like a Queen. Dr. Rodriguez has done quite a few of these new Sleeve Plications both in Juarez and Tijuana, I think you have a choice as to which location, but don't quote me on that. She had some help to get there from one of those services, belite, BeLiteWeight, something like that. The price was not too bad she said she paid less than 6500, was that good? My daughter might be considering it.

Hi Jennifer! What a wonderful birthday treat for yourself! My sleeve date is 8/16 with Dr. Rodriguez in Juarez. From what i've been told we will be in wonderful hands. But i still can't help but get a little nervous. :001_unsure:

Hi. My name is Zoyla Faquir and I have been researching wide and thick for the right doctor. I've researched specially in Mexico since the surgery seems to be more affordable there. Up to now, I think the best choice for me will be Dr Rodriguez in Star Medica Hospital in Juarez, MX. However, I plan to have surgery closer to home, at the INT hospital in Tijuana.

I will be having the plication with Dr Rodriguez. So far, I think Dr Rodriguez is very knowledgeable in this procedure. I have a few acquaintances who've had WLS with this doctor and they are very happy with their results and the whole experience. Some of them have gone thru BeLiteWeight, and have given me also good reviews about this company.

Since I live in So. Cal, I will try to get a tour through the hospital. I'd like to check for myself the facilities, staff, etc.'

Ok guys, I will keep you posted. I'm thinking to have my surgery done sometime between September and Oct this year, so, we'll see...
