    Dr. Jose Rodriguez - info request

    Oh yeah, I also wanted to say that after returning home, I immediatly went to see my PCP. and he looked at the X-RAYS, and incesions, and said this was the best looking one of these procedures he has ever seen... and so now, my own PCP, (here in Sherman TX) is making referals to Dr.Rod... It cost me $7500.00 for Dr.Rod... and Dr.Ceranno here in Sherman Tx quoted me $19000.00 and also stated that it could cost more if there were complications... I want to sum it up like this;~~ IF DR.ROD WAS THE SAME PRICE AS THE DOCTORS HERE IN THE US., I WOULD STILL FLY DOWN TO MEXICO & LET DR.ROD DO IT!!! Look at the number of sucessfull procedures he has done, and NEVER had a mortality under his watch, find me another lapband surgeon with numbers like that...

    Dr. Jose Rodriguez - info request

    I had the procedure done feb 1st 2008... My surgeon was Dr Rod, and Jessica was my contact through Belight Weight... I flew in on friday & had the procedure done that same day... It went well, but they discovered that I had a hietal hernia and repaired it during the procedure... I was expecting to get an additional Bill for the extra time that Dr Rod had to spend repairing the hernia... also I am a heart patient, and have had full blown bypass surgery in 2004, the surgeon took extra time, plus they kept me in the hospital 3 full days as a result, so I expected my procedure to cost more, but it did NOT.... The staff took all the extra precautions & I came through the procedure smelling like a rose... I weighed #310 on feb 1st, and now march 19 I weigh #278, and havent even had the band filled yet... The staff was nice, and yes there is a language issue that is frusterating, but (who cares) it's their language... I am very happy with Belight weight, Jessica, Dr Rod, and the entire staff @ Hospital Angeles... Also, I wanted to say this---- the hospital is super clean, and the whole place sparkles inside & out... I snooped around a bit while I was there and I can say that the high end equipment, like cat-scan machine & x-ray machines are full blown state of the art!!!! Everything in this place is spot-less, and clean, un-like the hospital in Tx where I had heart surgery done....
