Has anyone been to or is anyone going to Star Medica Hospital in Juarez Mexico?



Recommended Posts

I plan to go to Dr. Jose Rodriguez at Star Medica Hospital in Juarez Mexico and I was wanting to talk to people that have been there or plan to go there. Any info would be very helpful!

Also I plan to go there the first of Sept so if you are going that same time let me know.

Will you let me know how it goes? Did you use a company to book everything? Are you getting a sleeve? What is your cost?

Yes I am booked with BeLiteWeight also for the super sleeve on July 12. I thought about the lap band but I won't be able to cover all the upkeep costs it comes with.

Are you getting the regular Sleeve with Dr. Jose Rodriguez?? The new Sleeve plication (the one with no cutting or stapling) is only $6200 with BeLiteWeight, that's what my friend told me. Someone correct me if I am off base here, my daughter is getting more interested by the minute.

I got the new sleeve plication on July 12 (my one month is today) and I'm down 27 lbs. I love it! Dr. Rod and his team are amazing!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
