Contact Beliteweight regarding Dr. Jose Rodriguez he has two locations. By now they probably have referrals who are doing very well with the Gastric Sleeve Plication and you can get to talk to the actual patients who have been there done that. You can try that with all the other Doctors you are considering too, so you are well informed. Good luck, let us know how you get on. :confused:

$6200 for Dr. Rodriguez through BeLiteWeight. I hear they stay in touch after surgery too, keep tabs on you, and they have their own Sleeve message board. I like that, we need all the support we can get.

Thank you Dr. Watkins for your easy to understand and very valuable posts, I hope you become a regular here. You are very much appreciated :-)

Pliication, Imbrication, is the same surgery, but I agree, I wish they would pick just one description. I guess it hasn't been around long enough to be able to tell regarding reversibilty, but I have heard that probably for the first year or two it's probably reversable. Later there could be "sticking," (kinda like Velcro) which could cause scar tissue, but nobody knows for sure yet. Would love an expert opinion. Congrats to all that have had it, I hear it's a great weight loss tool. My daughter is getting ever closer to having the Plication surgery with Dr. Rodriguez:thumbup1: in Tijuana or Jaurez.

Are you getting the regular Sleeve with Dr. Jose Rodriguez?? The new Sleeve plication (the one with no cutting or stapling) is only $6200 with BeLiteWeight, that's what my friend told me. Someone correct me if I am off base here, my daughter is getting more interested by the minute.

I posted this on another forum but I think it probably beongs here.. I had a friend that went to Star Medica and had Dr. Jose Rodriguez, she said she was treated like a Queen. Dr. Rodriguez has done quite a few of these new Sleeve Plications both in Juarez and Tijuana, I think you have a choice as to which location, but don't quote me on that. She had some help to get there from one of those services, belite, BeLiteWeight, something like that. The price was not too bad she said she paid less than 6500, was that good? My daughter might be considering it.
