Here I am at the airport now, this is really going to happen. Today will be a busy day, hopefully - makes the time go faster! I am looking around at all the extra baggage people carry and I wounder if that plays a toll on them like my "extra baggage". I feel so fortunate that I have a plan to better my life and I can't wait to tackle this head on.

I will be on my way to Juarez Mexico to have VGS with Dr. Rodriguez tomorrow May 6, 2012. I am definitely excited and nervous. I have packed my bags, got my e-ticket, charged my phone and ready to go!!! I hope I got everything.

I had my surgery on 2/11/12 through BeLiteWeight with Dr. Rodriguez and his crew at Star Medica Hospital in Juarez, MX and I have to say that it was the best experience ever for me. You stay in the hospital the entire time you are there (4 days, 3 nights). I have read where some patients have left earlier than that if they are doing okay with keeping liquids down.
The hospital is super clean and the rooms are like staying at a 4-star hotel! My husband traveled with me but if you travel alone, there isnt a minute they leave you unattended from the moment you land in the El Paso Airport and meet Sergio their driver to the moment you walk out the hospital to meet Sergio again to go home!
Dr. Rod is really down to earth and sat and talked with us about life, technology, kids, the surgery after-life, etc.. for about an hour or more each day we were there! I have NEVER had that kind of personal attention with any doctors here in the US! They make you feel like family and that was really comforting!
Good luck with your search for a doc! Let me know if you have any questions!
