I just had my sleeve done Friday by dr Rodriguez and dr Elmo and I couldn't be happier! They both were very very nice, spoke English well and made me feel comfortable. I would recommend them hands down. The hospital that you have the surgery at is more like an out-patient facility in the states and it is older but the staff is very tentative and they keep everything very clean. Good luck making your decision and like everyone has said research research research!
I believe everything happens for a reason and I believe your decision to do to Mexico is far better than the military surgeon you met with.
I am at a 44 BMI and am very excited about my decision to go through with this life changing decision!
Where are you from? I live in Washington state.
