My Sleeve Plication surgery is scheduled for July 12, 2010 w/ Dr. Rod at Star Medica



Recommended Posts

My Sleeve Plication surgery is scheduled for July 12, 2010 at The Hospital Star Medica with Dr. Jose Rodriguez.

Is anyone else going at the same time?

Does anyone have any advice?

Has anyone else ever been there or been to the same Dr?

I just came back from there last week. I had the sleeve done by Dr Rodriguez on the 1st of July and came back home on the 4th.

You can read more about my experience under the thread :July Surgeries".

One word of advice, don't you worry about a thing, you are in good hands.

Good Luck.

I had sx. by Dr. Rodriguez on 5-22-10 but went to the Tijuana, Mexico INT Hospital. Great doctor and Team. You're in good hands. I would do it all over again.

I'm a little concerned about the violence reported in Juarez? Was everything ok when you went? How are you doing?

How was the INT hospital? And did you have sleeve or plication?

I had surgery with Dr. Jose Rodriguez and I thought his whole Team and the Beliteweight Team that he's affiliated with was supberb! You're in great hands.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
