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!!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
