change of policy Angeles Hospital in Mexico?



Recommended Posts

@@lost-in-motion I just booked a revision from sleeve to bypass with Dr. Kelly and i was also told about the cash for the hospital. I don't like going to Mexico with that much cash. Dr. Kelly did my sleeve in 2011 and now it's stretched and I have acid reflux. I don't blame him I think he did a great job the first time so I'm comfortable going back to him but the whole hospital thing is not good. Not to mention I was told one price and now it's $1400 more.

I have done some additional research about this as well and am waiting for a call back form the office manager to see if we can work out some sort of arrangement so I don't have to take cash.My price didn't change though. Have you paid your deposit yet? I cant imagine why the price would change...

I have not paid the deposit yet. I was told if I booked a date at Angeles and there were others that day it would be $1400 less but now there's no $1400 discount regardless if someone else books that day or not.

I'm going with Kelly.. March 28. Deposit of $520 PayPal fee included.

$3150 cashiers check for dr Kelly. $1000 cash for clinic. I received a VERY lengthy email with payment instructions, diet plan, post op expectations...EVERYTHING. There is a extra percentage for using a card.

I went to Hospital Angeles in February 2016 & they took my credit card so not too sure where the cash policy is coming in. They told me I could pay with a cashier's check a credit card or a debit card.

What was your experience like with the hospital?

I used Dr. Rodriguez at BeLite Weight in Juarez. Star Medica Hospital. I paid a $500 deposit online, and then paid the rest with a cashier's check once I got there. Great experience.

      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.
