I'm In Juarez At Star Medica



Recommended Posts

The hospital is unbelievably clean! Everybody is nice. My surgery is tmrw. Pray for me guys. Trying to send pics of the hospital. It's 100% cleaner than any US hospital I have been too. My room has a sleeping area, a separate living area. And a huge bathroom. Amy you were so right!!!

Thanks for all the prayers and positive vibes. Got home safe and sound last night. All is well so far. Praise be to God. Dr. Rodriguez and his team are awesome! Anyone choosing to use Belite and/ or Dr. Rodriguez, you will have an awesome experience. Honestly felt like I was in the US having surgery at a top notch hospital. Would do it again in a heart beat.

Most of the nurses spoke some English so communication was not an issue.

Surgery went on without any complications. I am very excited to be on the losers bench thanks to Dr. Rodriguez, Ishi with Belite Weight, my wonderful husband and my great Vertical Sleeve family!

Attached is pic of Juarez from my room. And no didn't hear any gun shots. It is just like any other dangerous US city. Star Medica is located in an upscale neighbor right by the American Embassy. Good luck to everyone !

      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!
