The Florence Hospital is not the Oasis Hospital they are two different buildings. The Florence is an older Hospital, but has everything you will need and the staff are very good. As for the Hotel with the casino, I think they are referring to the Grand Hotel. It had casino built in the lobby, but the permits were never approved so or remains unopened and unused. It's a good hotel.
I had vgs in October in the states, my daughter is having her's in April in Mexico. I need to be able to take my protein shakes with me. How can I take them? I cannot do powder.
in your checked baggage
I was just sleeved in Mexico 3 weeks ago. I brought a couple of my Premier protein shakes and had them in my checked bag.
I didn't really use too many of them...after surgery I was only having small liquids.
Hope that helps!

I am wanting to have a VSG done in April or May and so far these two are my top contenders. I would appreciate any help. I am also open to hearing experiences (good or bad) that anyone has had with any of the other doctors.
Thank you!
I am also looking into Gastric Sleeve in Mexico. I would appreciate any input. Thanks.
I replied to what you wrote - missing the point may have been from a post written without a clear point.
BLW got you the surgery and/or financing. What more did you need? If you had a problem with the hospital, that's where you take it up with the charge nurse. BLW gets you there, gets you in touch with the surgeon and hospital, and gets you back. They are nothing more than a liaison providing you a service to help you coordinate those things. And in their defense, how can they tell you ahead of time that you'd be sitting in pee for 2 hours? really?
So... not sure what your point is, if I missed it. Perhaps you can rewrite your objectives more clearly. Thanks!
I am sorry you missed the point of my post ENTIRELY. I have lost and am almost at my goal now... but the point was that BeLiteWeight could be a lot more helpful, give MUCH more information and they do not. In fact, the second I paid, that was all I heard from them... FOREVER!
DID you miss the part about not being able to use a restroom and having pee spilled all over me, my gown and sheets from the bedpan???? Did I tell them...YES! They did nothing. Ok, so not what you may get in America but sheesh... pee? My question was why would they take the catheter out BEFORE I could walk to the restroom... seems odd and silly and I told the doctor.... BLW could have not cared less, they had their money.
Second... why tell them you are allergic to a drug and they try to give you that drug. I would be in a world of hurt if not for Google translate. Yes, they do give more then NSAIDS... they gave me some good stuff, once they realized (like 12 hour later) that I was in do much pain... that was LONG 12 hours.
And no, being in pain does not help healing, it stops it...point of face, so you are wrong there. The stress of pain slows healing... so read on that. It's called keeping on top of the pain, they did not do that... they let everything wear off before they gave more and that's just F'd up.
I am glad you can only see what you want to see. I never said I was not satisfied, I said there were things... like having pee spill on me and having to sit in it for 2 hours.... it would have been nice to know AHEAD of time.
