I'm scheduled for gastric sleeve on Friday, November 23 in Juarez, Mexico with Dr Rodriguez. I've done my research and he has a wealth of experience. I am still very nervous. Any previous patient?

Let's keep each other updated. I know someone who had the sleeve last month and has lost 30 pounds. She was impressed with hospital... Let me know how you feel. Sending you positive vibes and blessings to you

I will definitely let you know how it goes! One week from today...I am getting so nervous! I can't stand the thought of leaving my 4 year old for a few days...

Make sure that your cell phone is international. Bring some sort of hand held device- iPod, kindle fire etc to surf. Remember you are getting this to live a longer life to be a healthier Mother for your son.

I just wanted to let you both know that I had found people on this website who had surgery with Dr. Rodriguez and contacted 5 of them by private message asking their opinion on this MD and 3 of them replied right away telling me about how wonderful he is. Everyone was happy with him, his team and the hospital!

Hope this puts your minds at rest- it somewhat reassured me as well.

Good luck on the surgery to all of us!
