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 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. 

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 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!

Financing via BeLite Weight worked for me. Dr. Rodriguez is actually an American citizen who lives in El Paso but he does his surgeries in Juarez. Cheaper all the way around. He's studied in the US and around the world. I liked that. I didn't want a strictly Mexican education - he's certified all over. Star Medica has some certifications as well. That was important to me. That's the hospital they took George Bush Sr. when he was having breathing troubles in that area. All of these things combined with financing and a reasonable price point made me choose this company. 

I'd personally skip the insurance company. You'll wait and wait and jump thru every hoop they throw at you in order to deny you. Mexico is inexpensive, quality surgery and these people are very good at what they do. In fact, it's called, "medical tourism." They ensure a quality product because they want you to come to them - it's a good paycheck!

Anyway, if you have questions about my surgery or experience, feel free to ask. B**** the time, my credit sucked and I still got financing. I had to put money down, but they gave me a chance and I pay faithfully. It's the best thing I ever did for myself - I only wish I had done it 20 years ago (or knew that such a thing existed back then).

Cheers!
