Getting sleeved 10/29 in Juarez (Star Medica) w/ Rodriguez



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone --- I have been reading (and researching) this board for the past few weeks and thought I would take the liberty of formally introducing myself. My name is Jennifer and I'm 30 (31 in Nov) and will be sleeved on 10/29. I currently weigh approximately 188lbs and I stand 5'2 or so and looking to lose about 65lbs. This surgery is like a birthday gift to myself. Absolutely needing a real kick in self-esteem in the upwards direction. I am curious if anyone else around this time is headed to Mexico, specifically Juarez during this time. If so, I'd love to hear from you.

Thank you,

Jennifer

I had a friend that went to Star Medica and had Dr. Jose Rodriguez, she said she was treated like a Queen. Dr. Rodriguez has done quite a few of these new Sleeve Plications both in Juarez and Tijuana, I think you have a choice as to which location, but don't quote me on that. She had some help to get there from one of those services, belite, BeLiteWeight, something like that. The price was not too bad she said she paid less than 6500, was that good? My daughter might be considering it.

Hi. My name is Zoyla Faquir and I have been researching wide and thick for the right doctor. I've researched specially in Mexico since the surgery seems to be more affordable there. Up to now, I think the best choice for me will be Dr Rodriguez in Star Medica Hospital in Juarez, MX. However, I plan to have surgery closer to home, at the INT hospital in Tijuana.

I will be having the plication with Dr Rodriguez. So far, I think Dr Rodriguez is very knowledgeable in this procedure. I have a few acquaintances who've had WLS with this doctor and they are very happy with their results and the whole experience. Some of them have gone thru BeLiteWeight, and have given me also good reviews about this company.

Since I live in So. Cal, I will try to get a tour through the hospital. I'd like to check for myself the facilities, staff, etc.'

Ok guys, I will keep you posted. I'm thinking to have my surgery done sometime between September and Oct this year, so, we'll see...

xoxoxo, Newcomer Zoyla:thumbup:

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
