Hello! On January 28, 2016, a year ago, I had my surgery with Dr. Rodriguez and Dr. Elmo via BeLite Weight. I have lost 130.5 pounds in a year. To say that I am thrilled is an understatement. I started at 315lbs after pre-op diet (330lbs before) and I'm now down to 184.5lbs. I'm in a size 10 from a size 30 :).
If you're having any concerns about going to Mexico with BeLite Weight - don't. Surgery isn't ever pleasant, but this was the simplest surgery I've ever been through. It really didn't hurt that much, the weight came right off, and I didn't have a single complication. If you have any questions, feel free to msg me.
Cheers!
Hello! I'm trying to book with him too on 2/17/17 but it's been so hard finding reviews that I'm almost scared to select him. Have you found anything?

Hi everyone, I'm a newbie to the forums. I will be self-pay and plan to travel from Alaska to Mexico (Tijuana) to have my surgery.
I'm considering...
Dr Ramos Kelly,
Dr Ariel Ortiz (Obesity Control Center)
Dr. Illan (Oasis Of Hope Hospital - BariatricPal Team MX).
Any positive or negative info is greatly appreciated!
I'm 33 years old, 408 lbs, 5'7 with a BMI >60. I have high blood pressure, prediabetes, polycystic ovarian syndrome, sleep apnea, and anxiety/depression. My father had gastric bypass when I was in high school & several of my family members have had surgery. I have tried every diet, exercise, medication...you name it with little to no success. I'm ready to live a happier and healthier life. I know WLS is only a tool and I'm ready to start living the life I want at age 33.
I've recently started researching my WLS options. My BCBS insurance is an individual plan, thru the marketplace and the policy doesn't cover any weightloss options or surgeries.
I'm curious about who you chose. I'm scheduled for the D.s procedure with Dr. Illan and can't find much about him.
Hi. Has anyone had surgery with Dr Vazquez. I'm booked with him for Feb 23. I feel quite comfortable so far. I have spoken with him personally and he's very experienced. Just wanted to get some others experiences. Thanks.
Hi, I am considering using Dr. Leon and Obesity Free Life. She has two reviews but neither of the people posted did respond back to an email inquiry.
If you had any experience with her, could you please share them with me?
