I did not but in my research of Doctors in Mexico he was in my top 2. He seems personable and knowledgeable. He has so much info out there that helps the entire community with his podcasts, YouTube videos and his Facebook group.

Thanks. I am scheduled with him for today. Waiting in the shuttle now. Getting very nervous.

I had mine on 4/16 in quirurgica del Valle on Mexicali, w/ the doctor Garcia Audelo...

I had mine April 11th in Tijuana with Dr. Verboonen

I had my surgery on October 1st. Dr Verboonen was my surgeon. He was great as was his staff.

How were the experiences with Dr Rodriguez in Juarez and did anyone use BeLite's financing?

is everyone anxiously anticipating April? i feel like i should gather a pile of my fat clothes since they will be temporary lol

Oh, you are so on my wavelength!

Sorted through all my clothes this weekend and organized them by size. Pretty much a nerd, but I don't care. I'm just so stoked that I won't be in my fat clothes for too much longer.

More worried about making it through the pre op diet right now. At least without killing anyone........

Looks like we will be in recovery together. My surgery is March 31st at Santa Fe medical with dr.jesus lopez. Right now I'm doing the pre opt diet.

I am having revision on March 27 2015

Helloooooo to aaaaaall, i seen activity hoppin in this thread and it seems like just yesterday i was in here gathering info and anticipating the day! April 25th will mark my one year sleeversary i will say to the newcomers...it's been the BEST decision of my life! dont compare ur journey to anyone elses. i expect to be another 10lbs down by April 25th to bring me to 190! I'm not rushing to get to 175 and the KEY is to eat right. i've had so many stalls n scales goin up n down becuz i was still in fat girl mentality. i still enjoy buffalo wings i just dnt eat 10 but 3 or 4 lol. pizza and marinara pretty much makes my stomach funny so i dnt eat that (alot) NO WHITE BREADS AT ALL or carbs for that matter. listen to ur body. once you get in the habit of eating better you'll realize that fried chicken wasn't so good after all. do i eat plants all day...of course not cuz im human lol. i can still eat whatever i want i'm just more mindful of it. I have a trainer in which i work out 2-3 times a week that's helped alot and it's truly a lifesyle change. im learning everyday to get better.

congrats and good luck april sleevers!!! you'll look back in a year wondering dmn why didn't i do this sooner.

I had a bypass in 1998. I haven't gained all my weight back, I just struggle with 50lbs.

I will be in PVR from April 14 thru the 21st with my surgery on the 15th with Dr. Hidalgo. I am staying at the Sunset Plaza Hotel and going to be enjoying an extended Beach-centered recovery

Kisha, what an awesome post! I couldn't have said it better myself! My surgiversary is on April 8 and it has been an amazing journey! Along with the physical changes, there were/are so many emotional changes, good and bad, and I am still trying to get used to my new body. It wasnt until just recently did I not mentally feel big and overweight and some days I still relapse. But overall, my surgery is one of, if not, the BEST DECISION I have ever made!!

Good luck to all!!
