I'm In Juarez At Star Medica

The hospital is unbelievably clean! Everybody is nice. My surgery is tmrw. Pray for me guys. Trying to send pics of the hospital. It's 100% cleaner than any US hospital I have been too. My room has a sleeping area, a separate living area. And a huge bathroom. Amy you were so right!!!

Thanks for all the prayers and positive vibes. Got home safe and sound last night. All is well so far. Praise be to God. Dr. Rodriguez and his team are awesome! Anyone choosing to use Belite and/ or Dr. Rodriguez, you will have an awesome experience. Honestly felt like I was in the US having surgery at a top notch hospital. Would do it again in a heart beat.

Most of the nurses spoke some English so communication was not an issue.

Surgery went on without any complications. I am very excited to be on the losers bench thanks to Dr. Rodriguez, Ishi with Belite Weight, my wonderful husband and my great Vertical Sleeve family!

Attached is pic of Juarez from my room. And no didn't hear any gun shots. It is just like any other dangerous US city. Star Medica is located in an upscale neighbor right by the American Embassy. Good luck to everyone !
