Starting The Journey

I'm scheduled for gastric sleeve on Friday, November 23 in Juarez, Mexico with Dr Rodriguez. I've done my research and he has a wealth of experience. I am still very nervous. Any previous patient?

I just wanted to let you both know that I had found people on this website who had surgery with Dr. Rodriguez and contacted 5 of them by private message asking their opinion on this MD and 3 of them replied right away telling me about how wonderful he is. Everyone was happy with him, his team and the hospital!

Hope this puts your minds at rest- it somewhat reassured me as well.

Good luck on the surgery to all of us! :)
