Dr Rodolfo Wilhelmy in Mexicali, Mexico



Recommended Posts

I want to share my experience with Dr. Wilhelmy in Mexico, Mexico. I had my sleeve surgery almost a month and a half ago and since have gotten a number of people contacting me with questions and my surgery experience which I am happy to share!

I have to say that I had already been to Almater Hospital in Mexicali last year when my mom had her sleeve done. I was her companion and we were pretty nervous that time but her surgeon came highly recommended so we went. Everything that time was really exceptional, we were met at the airport in San Diego by Ernesto the driver and we were taken to the hospital to meet with the doctors and haver her tests done. I was immediately impressed with the hospital and with the staff taking care of us. We met the surgeon and other doctors the morning of surgery. The hospital is spotless and house keeping cleans all day long. The doctors visited her 2-3 times a day and she was checked on, had tests daily and really kept her moving to help her recovery along. A really wonderful experience.

My mom had already lost close to 100 lbs when I decided I wanted to have surgery too. I had my surgery August of this year and Dr. Wilhemly was my surgeon.

I am very very pleased with the entire experience once again, the level of care is outstanding. I already knew all the staff but was the first time meeting my surgeon. He is a very nice and caring man, his bed side manner is wonderful. He also visited me daily, all post op tests were done by Dr. Campos just like when my mom was there earlier and I got to meet Dr. Beltran who I had not met on the first trip there. I can recommend Dr. wilhelmy and the entire staff at Mexicali Bariatric Center without hesitation.

I am 40 lbs less since my pre op diet and 34.5 since my surgery. I have not had any problems and am very happy to have had my sleeve done. I have already recommended Dr Wilhelmy to several friends and they are looking into it. I rate this surgeon and hospital with 5 stars !

      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?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
