Any recent Juarez, Mexico banding experiences?



Recommended Posts

I'm new to the site and trying to research info on recent experiences from Juarez, Mexico. I've inquired and received info from the Beliteweight group, but would like to hear some recent actual experiences. Thank you for any input you can provide.

I am not want to say anthing about the Dr there. But my family lives in Mexico and Juarez if a very dangerious place. I am in Texas and the deaths and danger down there is horrible. I am not saying don't go to Mexico just pick another town away from Juarez. Sorry just had to warn you. Look it up on the internet about the danger and hundres of death and missing people. It is all with the drugs and gangs If you do go please do not go alone.

I agree with Cheri on Juarez.

Also, make sure that you do a ton of research on whatever surgeon you do choose. The courts here can't hold foreign surgeons accountable for any discrepancies that occur.

Dr. Ortiz in Tijuana get great reviews here while Dr. Huacuz has been depicted as an incompetent butcher.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
