Lab Band In Mexico Information



Recommended Posts

I have been researching going to Dr. Rod at the Angeles hospital in JUAREZ, but I am interested in finding out if you have to use Belite, which I think is just a scheduler for them? Can anyone tell me what the service is they offer and if you can infact get it done there with that doctor and not use that service. Thanks

Are you talking about Dr. Arturo Rodriguez? If so, no, you do not have to go through Belite. He has a website you can access for information and phone numbers. :biggrin:

OOps..sorry! Just realized you said Juarez, not Monterrey. I've been to both places so guess I just missed it! :biggrin:

No, sadly if you want to go to Dr. Rodriguez you are stuck with Belite. Same with a few other docs.

Just remember, Belite isn't going to do your surgery, Dr. Rod is. He is very good.

If you're interested in Dr. Jose Rodriguez, you can get in touch with them by contaacting Barbara Lozier. She is basically his persaanal asst. She is a marvalous person. Call her at 2107891434. She has been through all of it and will talk and walk you through it all. I went to Dr. Rod on 10-31-07. VERY VERY happy with everythhing. Good luck.

:thumbup:Actually you don't have to go through Belite in dealing with Dr. (Jose) Rod. I called him personally at his office and am going directly through him. Now when I first called the lady didn't speak great english..but enough to get my name and call Dr. Calderon to the phone and he spoke VERY good english. He took my name and number and asked me some questions and said that he would have Dr. Rod call me personally that evening....and sure enough about 7pm yesterday-Fri- Dr. Rod called me and talked to me about the band. His english wasn't as good as Dr. Calderon but still very good. He is having his assistant Lupita contact me today or sometime Monday to go ever the paticulars and surgery date. So you can do directly to them as long as you haven't already started your process through another agency...coordinator or so forth. Have a Happy Mothers day out there to all of us moms.

People get easily confused because there are two different Dr. Rodriguez' in Mexico.

Dr. Arturo Rodriguez is in Monterrey and has never used Belite.

You can contact his office directly if you are interested in the surgery or need anything.

      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.
