Hello everybody,

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,

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
