Researching Doctors

[B&C 0]

Hi every body, I am writing this to let people know that my wife just had surgery on the 8th, July. We went through Be-Lite Weight. This is a US company that coordinates everything for you including financing. They use Dr Rodriguez and Dr Elmo in Juarez, Mexico. Both surgeons work together. AWESOME EXPERIENCE!!!!!

I had my surgery in Juarez on July 29th. I agree, Dr. Rodriguez, Dr. Elmo and the doctors were GREAT!! However, I felt differently about the hospital. I don't know if it's the language barrier or that hospitals operate differently in Mexico or what the problem was for me, but being at Angeles was very difficult for me. I had to ask many, many, many times if I wanted or needed something. A nurse told me in Spanish "Sorry, I don't speak English"...I told her...Esta' bien...No hablo Espanol! She had a major attitude when she said it. I felt I had to beg for ice (it took hours to get). The nurse refused to give me an anti-emetic and I had to hit the call button when I was yaking in the bathroom. Did you go with your wife? I wouldn't suggest someone going alone like I did. I give the hospital D-.....just my experience.

No comment on Be-Lite Weight. I hope your wife does well.

I'm glad your surgery went well. Dr rodriguez and Dr Elmo don't work at Angeles hospital any longer because of the reasons your explained. That is why we had to go to Juarez, Mexico to have it done. They have an entire floor just for there patients. Star Medica Hospital is absolutely beautiful.

I had my surgery 2 weeks ago. Shorter than your bride. Many people are lead to believe they are going to Star Medica, and it's Angeles. I am still glad your wife is doing well. I know Star Medica is beautiful...I thought at first I was going there. I'm glad she got good care. Health & Wellness to you both!
