Surgeon Testimonial

Jose Rodriguez
The doctor was wonderful, answered any and all questions took time to talk to me and address any questions i had. Surgery went good no complications . Great bed side manner. Very knowlegable and talented surgeon i knew i was in capable hands. The hospital was small but very clean and the staff were absolutely wonderful and gentle they speak only spanish but the doctor speaks english. I knew a little spanish and got along fine. They have a phone line where you can call your family for free. I was very pleased with my experience and if had to do it again would go back.

Hi i am Misty I have been overweight all my life and have tried to diet and lose weight i have lost and gained and lost and gained throughout the years.  I had a consultation a year ago with a surgeon .  He urged me to have gastric bypass surgery.  I had a friend die from gastric bypass surgery and i have a young son and did not want to take that sort of chance.  I wanted the lapband.  The insurance company wanted me to jump thru hoops so i decided to put it off.  I decided this year 2007 I want a change and it is now or never. I have decided to have my surgery done in Mexico by Dr. Jose Rodriguez.   Here I go on my journey!!  Update Banded, losing weight,  changing lifestyle and starting a new life!

5th fill and -115 lbs
on March 15, 2008 7:03 am
Well its been a little over a year and i have lost a total of 115lbs my highest starting weight was 427 and i am currently sitting at 312.  The lowest weight i remember was around 320 the year i graduated high school talk about pathetic lol.  Man that would of been cool if i would of got the band then and now i would be what size?  who knows.  A few weeks ago i could start tolerating some bread so went in for my fifth fill.  The doctor weighed me and i had lost 59lb since my last fill six months ago she thought that was good and pleased with my success.  I was wrong however i thought i had 6.5 in my band and had 8.5 in there and she gave me a .3 fill this time so i am sitting at 8.8.  She didn't know why she gave me so much fill last time and said she won't be doing that again.  Which is fine by me because i was so tight i was miserable but i stuck it out.  We will see how much difference this fill will make.

update ! january 10, 2008
on January 9, 2008 11:17 am
Well as of today i am down -95lb weightloss is just starting to show when you are a very high bmi it must take quite a bit to really start showing a differnece.  Not many comment on my weightloss but soon they will notice lol.  When i look in the mirror i can tell myself my clothes show less bulges lol.  I am in this mode where i care less if i eat or not.  Had the flu and nothing sounds good or smells good enough to eat.  So i will keep sipping my hot tea and hope i lose 25 lb  by spring.  I need to go back to the fill doctor next month but i don't think i want a fill but its almost time for my yearly check up.  Almost one year yahooooooooooooooooo.   I can't believe it , it flew by so fast.  I need to lose five lb by the end of next month to  make my goal of -100 in a year surely i will make it.  The band the best decison that i made--- NO REGRETS
