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 !

      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.
