I have been in contact with Rachel Densmore and she told me they have only brought in 50 new patients since March of 2010 and didn't think they were going to see any more new patients until June.  Now figuring that out, 50 patients in 1 year and over 2000 on the waiting list.  I am at the bottom of the list as I was only referred in March 2010.  That is over a five year wait isn't it?

My BMI is 44.6, I have sleep apnea, depression, chronic lower back pain and a family history of heart disease.  This all went in with my referral and it hasn't made a difference. 

People will die waiting for their surgeries.

I was wondering if anyone here has had their surgery out of the Country?  I am researching hospitals in Mexico and financing for the surgery.  If anyone else has done this, I sure would like to hear about your experience and recovery.

I went through www.beliteweight.com I went to Jaurez and Dr. Rod did my sleeve.  He was awesome and so was the hospital.  My recovery was great.  I am down 51 lbs. in a little over a month and a half!

I went to Dr. Aceves as well, and I know (because I have seen her posts about it) that my experience was just like Jo's.

VSG on 04/12/11 with
Dr. Guillermo Alvarez, just outside the border in southern Texas...wonderful experience,
board certified, concientious, would recommend to anyone.... 8900$, includes two nights
in hotel and home meds...don't know if they finance.  You stay in a real hospital with a private
aide, for 2 nights.
