Anyone have surgery in Mexico through BeLiteWeight?



Recommended Posts

Hello my name is Dylan. I am 22. I am 5'7" and weigh 360 lbs. I am having surgery in Mexico as my insurance won't cover it here in the states. I am going through a company called BeLiteWeight , my surgeon is Dr. Jose Rodriguez. I was just wondering if anyone has went through beliteweight or is scheduled to have their surgery with them. My surgery is scheduled for Dec. 28th. I'm so excitedpost-266118-14474817781363_thumb.jpg

Hi Dylan!

I had my surgery with Dr. Rodriguez on July 4th. It was one of the best things I have ever done in my life! The ladies at BeLite Weight are great. The doctors, nurses, and staff at Star Medica are even better. I've never had such an amazing hospital experience.

Is anyone going with you? My mom came with me. There was a place for her to sleep in my room. It was good to have her with me for company and to help me with adjusting my pillows and stuff.

Let me know if you have any questions!

-Janet

Post op has been great for me. I seem to have taken to the surgery very well. I did not have a lot of pain. The worst thing after surgery was the gas pain, but gas-X dissolving strips helped immensely. Get up and start moving around as soon as you can after surgery. That helped a lot too.

      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.
