I am 3 days post op. I went to Mexico for my surgery with Dr Rodriguez. I wanted to come back here to let everyone know how my experience went. It was simply amazing!!! I had no problems with gas at all. My tummy is a little bit sore. Dr Rodriguez is the nicest person that i have ever met! His bedside manner is awesome!!! I am a nurse here in Ohio and i tell you that i have NEVER met a better Doctor. The hospital was very clean, the nurses spoke enough English that it was easy to communicate!! Just wanted to add that my hospital room had a flat screen TV and the top of the line cooling system, for those that expect Mexico to be trashy. The hotel that they put me in was top of the line. (So beautiful!!!) It wasn't a cheap place to stay by any means. $7750.00 and everything was included but the airfare. If you are a self pay and are scared to go to Mexico for any reason, please look into Dr Rodriguez. You won't be dissappointed!!! His assistant Barb is top of the line herself. You never have to go with a question unanswered, i swear she knows everything and if she doesn't she ask the Doctor and gets back to you promptly. I have never felt so cared for in my life. :angel: Feel free to contact me if you have any questions at all!!! I am sooooo Happy to have made the decision to be banded by Dr Rodriguez!!! :clap2:

Congrats on being banded! I was banded in Mexico as well, though not by your surgeon. There are some nightmare doctors wherever you go, US or Mexico or elsewhere, so I'm glad you had an excellent experience.

Congrats on your banding..glad you had a good experience....
