Is Belite Weight still in business??



Recommended Posts

I haven’t read good things about them at all.

I used OCC in Tijuana, Mexico. It is a JACCHO certified hospital- which is not a certification that is easy to obtain. Plus, their follow up care is wonderful, and all staff is attentive and knowledgeable. A lot of patients are referreds from friends and a family member that had surgery there before- which is another positive to be shown.

I think anyone that has had surgery there is very happy. Plus I have not seen any negative reviews about them - ever.

Check them out, I think you will be happy.

Nope. I was at Star Medica 6 months ago through BeLiteWeight.

I had my surgery feb 6th 2020 as well as my mom did. I found this program and I made sure my mom and I would be in the same room and they confirmed it multiple times!! This program has extremely high reviews bc THEY DONT ALLOW BAD REVIEWS ON THEIR PAGES. We get there and we are separate. It’s very scary being somewhere especially out of country (I’ve never been out of country) with just my mom and now being in different rooms under going a serious surgery I called Joanne and she told me that she never told me that... pisses me off bc she confirmed it a few times (I woulda never gone if I knew we would be separated) Anyways The nurses (night shift) turn your beepers off and act like you are putting them out, took them about 2 hours for them to finally respond to your call when you push the button. My mom was leaking out of her incision and she told about 4 people her bed was covered in blood (we took pictures bc we knew they would deny it ) and still no one did anything about it until 4 hours later someone just threw a towel over the bloody bed. I finally felt good enough to go in and check on her. We were terrified to continue to ask for help bc they were already making us get our own ice and we’re turning our room monitors off when we kept calling for help The next day the day shift finally changed her sheets. The women at the front desk don’t help with anything. They never gave my mom a breathing machine until a day and a half after her surgery. One was a asleep and the other was playing on her phone the whole night. The stay was bad. Anyways the part your probably more concerned about was the surgery it’s self... they woke me up in the recovery room and I was in Excruciating pain! Worst pain I’ve ever been in in my entire life. I slept on and off for 24 hours that day bc I just couldn’t handle the pain. My mom was in bad pain too. She coughed and she said she felt something ripped and I ran as fast as I could being in so much pain the tell the nurse and he had to go get a coffee and enjoy it before he checked on her which was about 2-3 hours later while she laid there in Tremendous pain. I wouldn’t recommend this program to anyone I’m shocked it had such good ratings! There also was another women getting the same thing and had the exact same problems and they just left her and didn’t help with anything. Also thru the entire process the founder of Beliteweight or anyone in that program never once called to check on me or my mom or the other lady! They just want your money.. DONT DO IT

      So I guess after gastric bypass surgery, I cant eat flock chips because they are fried???  They sell them on here so I thought I could have them. So high in protein and no carbs.  They don't bother me at all.  Help.

        It's possible for a very high fat meal to cause dumping in some (30% or so) gastric bypass patients, although it's more likely to be triggered by high sugar, or by the high fat/high sugar combo (think ice cream, donuts). Dietitians will tell you to never do anything that isn't 100% healthy ever again. Realistically, you should aim for a good balance of protein, carbs, and fat each day. Should you eat fried foods every day? No. Is it possible they will make you sick? Maybe. Is it okay to eat some to see what happens and have them for a treat every now and again? Yes.

      I'm not at all hungry on this liquid pre-op diet, but I miss the sensation of chewing. It's been about two weeks––surgery is in two days––and I can't imagine how I'll feel a couple of weeks post-op. Tonight, I randomly stumbled upon a mukbang channel on YouTube, and it was strangely soothing... is it just me, or is this a thing?

        I actually watched cooking shows during my pre-op, like Great British Baking Show. It was a little bizarre, but didn't make me hungry. I think it was also soothing in a way.

      How do you figure out what your ideal weight should be? I've had a figure in my head for years, but after 3 mths of recovery I'm already almost there. So maybe my goal should be lower?

        Well, there is actually a formula for "Ideal Body Weight" and you can use a calculator to figure it out for you. This one also does an adjusted weight for a person who starts out overweight or obese. https://www.mdcalc.com/calc/68/ideal-body-weight-adjusted-body-weight

        I would use that as a starting point, and then just see how you feel as you lose. How you look and feel is more important than a number.

      2. Clueless_girl

        I did find different calculators but I couldn't find any that accounted for body frame. But you're right, it is just a number. It was just disheartening to see that although I lost 60% of my excess weight, it's still not in the "normal/healthy" range..

      3. NickelChip

        I think it's important to remember that the weight charts and BMI ranges were developed a very long time ago and only intended to be applied to people who have never been overweight or obese. Those numbers aren't for us. When you are larger, especially for a long time, your body develops extra bone to support the weight. Your organs get a little bigger to handle the extra mass. Your entire infrastructure increases so you can support and function with the extra weight. That doesn't all go away just because you burn off the excess fat. If you still had a pair of jeans from your skinniest point in life and then lost weight to get to the exact number on the scale you were when those jeans fit you, chances are they would be a little baggy now because you would actually be thinner than you were, even though the scale and the BMI chart disagree. When in doubt, listen to the jeans, not the scale!

      Tomorrow marks two weeks since surgery day and while I'm feeling remarkably well and going about just about every normal activity, I did wind up with a surface abscess on on of my incision sights and was put on an antibiotic that made me so impacted that it took me more than two hours to eliminate yesterday and scared the hell out of me. Now there's Miralax in all my beverages that aren't Smooth Move tea. I cannot experience that again. I shouldn't have to take Ativan to go to the lady's. I really looking forward to my body getting with the program again. 
      I'm in day three of the "puree" stage of eating and despite the strange textures, all of the savory flavors seem decadent. 
      I timed this surgery so that I'd be recovering during my spring break. That was a good plan. Today is a state holiday and the final day of break. I feel really strong to return to school tomorrow.
