Gastric Sleeve In Juarez Mexico

jenniferedmon · August 22, 2010

Hi My name is Jennifer and I am scheduled to have a gastric sleeve done in Juarez, Mexico by Dr. Jose Rodriguez. Has anyone used him or belightweight for this procedure? I am 5 foot 2 inches and am currently 250 pounds. I am hoping to lose 100 pounds or more with the sleeve. Does anyone know if this is possible? Or should I really consider Gastric Bypass? Any information would help me a lot. I am scheduled to have my surgery on November 1st, 2010, if anyone else is scheduled around that time I would love to talk.

With gastric bypass, you will lose faster, but you will have malnutrition that you will have to treat for the rest of your life.

Not to dissuade you, but definitely check out that doctor and the facility where you are having the surgery. My husband is a nurse at a hospital in El Paso. He had a patient that went to Juarez for bariatric surgery and ended up having a major infection landing her in the hospital stateside. It was pretty yucky from what he told me. I do wish you the best!

I had the sleeve by Dr. Rodriguez in Juarez, through Belite, on 7/1/10. So far, I have lost 60 lbs without any complications. Everything, the surgery, hospital, his staff, etc., exceeded my expectations.

I had gastric sleeve done with Dr. Rodriguez in Tijuana and went through Beliteweight, as well. Everything went just like they said it would. I am 1 month out, have lost 21 lbs. in that month. I also have a lot to lose, but didn't really consider the bypass something I wanted. I don't like the idea of malabsorption, and I also liked that with the VSG, they remove the part of the stomach where Grehlin is produced. I haven't been physically hungry once since having this surgery. Good luck!

I had the VSG with Jose Rodriguez on 8/16. I had no major problems. My only thing was the pain. Of course I did have major surgery! I'm fine now though and feeling much better everyday. Check out my blog. I wrote about my experience
