Lab Band In Mexico Information



Recommended Posts

I have been researching going to Dr. Rod at the Angeles hospital in JUAREZ, but I am interested in finding out if you have to use Belite, which I think is just a scheduler for them? Can anyone tell me what the service is they offer and if you can infact get it done there with that doctor and not use that service. Thanks

Are you talking about Dr. Arturo Rodriguez? If so, no, you do not have to go through Belite. He has a website you can access for information and phone numbers. :biggrin:

OOps..sorry! Just realized you said Juarez, not Monterrey. I've been to both places so guess I just missed it! :biggrin:

No, sadly if you want to go to Dr. Rodriguez you are stuck with Belite. Same with a few other docs.

Just remember, Belite isn't going to do your surgery, Dr. Rod is. He is very good.

If you're interested in Dr. Jose Rodriguez, you can get in touch with them by contaacting Barbara Lozier. She is basically his persaanal asst. She is a marvalous person. Call her at 2107891434. She has been through all of it and will talk and walk you through it all. I went to Dr. Rod on 10-31-07. VERY VERY happy with everythhing. Good luck.

:thumbup:Actually you don't have to go through Belite in dealing with Dr. (Jose) Rod. I called him personally at his office and am going directly through him. Now when I first called the lady didn't speak great english..but enough to get my name and call Dr. Calderon to the phone and he spoke VERY good english. He took my name and number and asked me some questions and said that he would have Dr. Rod call me personally that evening....and sure enough about 7pm yesterday-Fri- Dr. Rod called me and talked to me about the band. His english wasn't as good as Dr. Calderon but still very good. He is having his assistant Lupita contact me today or sometime Monday to go ever the paticulars and surgery date. So you can do directly to them as long as you haven't already started your process through another agency...coordinator or so forth. Have a Happy Mothers day out there to all of us moms.

People get easily confused because there are two different Dr. Rodriguez' in Mexico.

Dr. Arturo Rodriguez is in Monterrey and has never used Belite.

You can contact his office directly if you are interested in the surgery or need anything.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
