  1. Hi, I feel much better today, really no pain at all only slight soreness on incision sites. As far as fluid intake I think I'm able to drink a little more today. The first two days I was not really able to drink much, but today I'm drinking more , and it seems that im able to tolerate fluids better.
  2. Hi I just got back from Juarez Mexico after having a gastric sleeve done on March 17. My honest opinion is the following: dr Calderon was in contact with us since we left our home town, for me it was a 5 hour drive. As soon as we arrived to El Paso we left our vehicle at tha long term parking at the airport and 10 minutes after we arrived transportation van picked us up and drove us to star medica. As soon as we got there , dr Calderon was waiting for us ,after I registered in we went to have a light meal. The next morning dr Rodriguez showed up and introduced himself and asked if I had any questions and also the anesthesiologist showed up and told me exactly what her role was during the procedure. The hospital was very nice and clean with up to day equipment, I say this because I'm currently a RN and to me it looked much better than some of the hospitals here in USA. As for the staff they were wonderful, I cannot tell you if the spoke English or not because I'm Hispanic and fluent in Spanish. As of right know I don't have any regrets at all.
