Hi, This is my first post, I apologize in advance for any annoyance... I have been looking into gastric sleeve surgery for quite a while. I recently found the website BeLiteWeight.com and spoke with a patient facilitator. After a very pleasant conversation, I have decided that I would like to go to Juarez Mexico to Star Medica Hospital where Dr. Jose Rodriguez will perform the surgery. However, after talking with my best friend of over 22 yrs, I am scared to death. I went this morning to send out for my passport card and I was all ready to go until she started telling me that I need to find information outside of the website on this dr. I have done several google searches and i can't find anything bad, but only finding reviews from 2013 and back. I was told that this hospital is where the Embassy employees go. Can anyone help me?

I am SCARED to death! I was fine until this afternoon when I decided to tell my best friend of over 20 yrs. She works in a hospital in Illinois and told me that there are so many horror stories about Mexico and she says she will have me talked out of it before my surgery is scheduled. I have been talking with Joyce myers with BeLiteWeight.com and she has had 3 family members go to the Star Medica hospital with Dr. Rodriguez and assures me that I will be fine ...I am reading horrible stories about Juarez Mexico and i am really nervous to where I'm ready to say nevermind. The patient facilitator tells me not to worry and my best friend said ..>"that's her job". I have googled for 3 days and I can't find anything bad on this dr yet. I really need to be reassured. I even read that someone tried to leave a hospital after a procedure and they refused to let her leave until she paid them more money. even though the dr's released her. I need to get over this fear..that's for sure
