I am using dr. Rodriguez with BeLiteWeight . There is a Facebook page called "weight loss mexico" check them out, they are mainly dr. Elias Ortiz patients with ALighterme. His patients are very happy also.

I'm very upset,

i called the number displayed on http://specializedbariatrics.com/, i spoke with the lady cindy and she was nice,

i asked about dr alejandro lopez or his wife or dr ramirez, and scheddled a date with dr Lopez,

after taking an hour to fill and submit the questionnaire, i got a message from cindy, congratulating me that my surgery has been approved by dr ....Valenzuela !!?? And that she has booked me on 21th with this doctor, that she is the best, that she's even the one sleeved her(cindy) and her daugther etc...SO WAS SHE TRYING TO FORCE ME INTO ANOTHER PERSON'S HAND?? i hate being taken as a fool

I'm very sorry for the dr Valenzuela, Lopez and all, but their coordinators are just behaving like scamm , since my english is low, someone beleived he can make me swallow nakes!! With the same price I' beleive the margin is better with Valenzuela.< /p>

I don't doubt on dr Valenzuela's capacities, but she is not the one i choosed after 3 months of research, how can i change my mind within 5 sec?? also, healthcare is about confidence, trust and being confortable with the specialist you've chosen, i know what i'm saying, i'm a nurse and if their is no confidence, the work is half done.

I beleive the bariatric surgery rush is making some people to forget about some basic realities,

Very sorry for the doctors, but I'm going to the next on my list, Dr Illan,

      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.
