Experience with BeLiteWeight - Ishi - Dr Jose Rodriguez?

Me too this is what I'm not understanding why not let people know it your ok or if it work or didn't like others ?

I am looking into having surgery with Dr. R and I want some feed back.  looks like the ones on here that was going to have surgery here and report back hasn't done so and i'm a little worried.

Hi, I am not sure if you have had your surgery yet but If you want to know anything about Dr. Jose Rodriguez and Mexico they have a support web page, its fantastic its through facebook and its under beliteweight. I have my surgery scheduled for Feb 27th and I am siked.

I just had surgery with Dr Rodriquez in Mexico and he was so kind. He did wonderful work. He is listed on the US registry for certified bariatric surgeons as he trained he in the states. The staff and facilities were all top notch. I am only 3 weeks post surgery and doing really well. The hospital was wonderfula and state of the art.

HI there, my name is Lori I'm in Nc. my daughter needs this surgery and I plan to go with her to mexico and meet Dr, rodrigues. we are still resurching things and I am looking for good info PLEASE tell me everything you know sence you have been there an done that ! We are both so scared ,but got to do something soon. The contact person at belite, Deberah has been wonderful so far no pressure on us, and sent alot of information. Just would feel better to hear from someone who's knows ! So much at stake ! Thanks for listening to me hope to hear back from you Nora.  THANK U   Lori

how did it go meetingh the dr

Well, they have the drive meet you at the airport in El Paso. He is very nice and speaks English. He will drive you right to the oddr of the hospital and walk you in to be turned over to a member of the surgical team. You will go to the business office and everything will be explained to you in English there. You will sign your consents and a few other papers and then up to your room. You will have a private, nicely furnished room. They will do your blood work next and then you will be prepped for surgery.
You will meet more of the surgical team and the doctor prior to surgery. You do not need your own pilllow or night gowns if you don't want to take them along. BeLite suggested that to me and it was just more to worry about. The staff at the hospital is very attentive and responsive to you. You will have a TV in your room but may want something to read. It is best to get up amd walk as soon as possible after the surgery. They will do an xray the following day to assure that the band is positioned properly and conduct a swallow test.They are very thorough.
I am loving all the compliments on my weight loss thus far! You will not regret the decision! I am off two of my usual medications already as well.

My understanding is you arrive the day before surgery(day1) start your testing an physical, the next day(day2) you have surgery an then spend the next 3 nights in the hospital and then leave on (day6) is this how it really works ? It sounds like clock work ! Is it really that EZ ? Do you have to have a Dr. to follow up with when you get back state side ?  Will the surgeon refer you to a Dr. in the states for follow up ? Thanks for the reply, Lori

If you are told about a longer stay it would be for gastric by-pass or a different surgery. I had the lapband done. BeLite has a list of doctor state side and I would contact them before you go to assure they will see you. Some doctors will not do follow up on patients from Mexican surgeries. Be sure to has this established.
I had my surgery the day I arrived, stayed two night and came home.

Oh, ok My mistake, yea she needs to have VBG sleeve .along with the removal of a 60# hurnia ! I guess I need to get back to Deborah w/belite and get some details,just because she was told she needed this VBG/sleeve,by one Dr. how does Dr. Rod know that is what he feeles she needs? All so over wellming! back to the oid drawing board ! Sure do appreciate your feedback.
