My sister is going with me TOMORROW to Star Medica in Juarez Mexico for Dr. Jose Rodriguez and she is worried about it being a bad area to go. I know that there are people on here that have gone in the last few weeks so I hoping to get reassured from them that everything is going to be fine. Is there any advice you could give me?

Juarez is dangerous. Period. Don't wander around, especially at night. If you go straight from hotel to clinic, you should be fine, but this is not the time to go sightseeing downtown. They average 6 murders a day, and innocent people get caught in the crossfire.

Well we are getting picked up at the El Paso, TX airport and then taken right to the hospital. We will not be staying at a hotel at all. The only thing I think I'll have to leave the hospital for is the meds. So hopefully we won't have any issues! That is scary!! Thank you for letting me know since we were thinking about shopping a little if there was time.

Other than crossing the border, Juarez was a non-event. The police are heavily armed at the border. Also, you will not have to leave the hospital for meds--at least I did not. They brought them to me for $50.

Thank you! That makes me feel better that we don't have leave to get meds since I was scared of getting lost. I pray it all just goes well. Tomorrow I will have my sleeve!! YAH!!!

hi! I am going to Juarez in September.. I am sure you will be fine!! You know, alot of places are not that great to be in if walking alone at night... I live in Montreal, and we have more than our share of murders...

If we were to begin worrying about all the dangerous places, we would never leave home..

Stay positive, good luck for the op.. and have fun!!

You are very right! I think it is just the last minute "What ifs" lol.. I'm so happy to finally have this done. My sister that is going with me has the lap band and has been very helpful on letting me know what to expect.

I am so glad to all of you to help me also! Have a wonderful day! I know i will..

I know how you feel.. I find myself having to explain to most people I tell... But really, in the end, anywhere can be dangerous if your time has come...

that's my view. I travel alot for work, so I can't let myself think those thoughts!

You are lucky to have someone with you! My hubby is in Paris now, and I am soooooooo hoping that he will be back for my surgery (his mom is ill).. if not, well, I am a big girl, I will go on my own!

Please let me know how it goes ok?

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.

      Lost my Pup last month and struggled really hard for that first month. Stopped tracking intake and slid into old habits here and there. Also quit working out. Can't walk in the neighborhood because of all of the memories we shared. Losing my Pup is the most heartbreaking thing I've ever been through. My Pup was my world 💔
      Talked to my doc during my one year followup and they were not worried about my current status. They know, and I know, that I will get back on track.

        I'm so sorry. I lost my pup (Mr. Bitters - a chocolate Pomeranian) 2 years ago and it still makes me tear up. He was my everything - my constant companion. I understand. Do the best you can to get back on track.
