I would not be comfortable giving out that information either. I had surgery in February. For my deposit I had to mail a certified check. Then take a certified check with me for the remainder when I had surgery.

Topic: VSG payments???

Just got approved for surgery they want a down payment for $250 with my credit card. Then they want me to fill out a form with my credit card information and mail it into their office. Not comfortable with that. Have anyone experience this. My surgery suppose to be performed in Mexico by Dr. Almanza. I found him on the internet thru weightloseagents.com

I'm having a revision with Dr. Rodriguez in 2 weeks.  I have obsessively researched and feel great about my decision and his abilities. He has performed over 10,000 bariatric surgeries and you stay the entire time in the hospital and not a hotel.   If I wasn't using himc Dr. Ramos Kelly would be my second choice.

Sure I can,

The hospital use the leg compression stockings that go up to your mid thigh area. Yes, they do a leak test before you leave the hospital, which is a gross taste. I am doing great! I had ZERO complications and everything went well. I never once had any problems. Until now I'm still doing wonderful. In one of my post to someone else I mentioned that I have lost 74lbs. The reason I'm back on here is because my daughter just had the sleeve and she had it in the states and she has been feeling nauseaed everyday for 3 weeks. It is a different type of surgery and the people I talked with that had the sleeve went through the same thing. But, as for me Dr. Rodriguez if a very good doctor and the hospital was the best as well.

Hello TryingHard18,

In 2001 I had the Gastric Bypass (RNY) in the states and I went to Dr. Rodriguez in June of 2014 for a revision of the RNY. It's where the intestine are cut even shorter so I can stay full longer. Since then I have lost 74lbs and still trying.
