Dana Geary - Clancy, Montana (BeLiteWeight Experience) AWESOME!
I have really enjoyed my journey with BeLiteWeight. I have wanted to do Gastric Sleeve Surgery for years and with the affordable price and flying to Juarez, Mexico - it became a reality on August 18, 2018! Dr. Jose Rodriguez Villarreal, MD was an excellent surgeon. He was pleasant see briefly before and after my procedure. Along with Dr. Elmo. Jessica Espina was my "life-line" during the process from when I first called to get information to filling out my patient history, to advice, answering all my questions, just FANTASTIC! Jessica follow-up with me on the phone after my surgery and even while I was at the hospital for the procedure. I now a few ladies there the same time that didn't use BeLiteWeight and did not have a patient facilitator and were not as informed as I was and I am grateful for Jessica! I watched videos of prior patients, I contacted several patients before the surgery for their insights/suggestions and I followed my pre and post up (thus far) to the letter and I am doing GREAT! I weighed 275 before my 2 weeks or pre-op diet. I weighed 267 pounds at the time of my surgery and now....not quite 3 weeks after surgery...I am at 247 pounds! The hospital was clean and the staff were polite. Only one nurse knew English but considering I was in Mexico..the other staff members and I were able to communicate overall with gestures and their limited English and my little to no Spanish. I did meet a few ladies who also had the surgery and one of them was fluent in Spanish so I would often be in their room and got my information as a group and had her ask my more detailed questions. The staff at Hospital Angeles were great! I really appreciate how kind everyone was on the 2nd floor where I stayed in room 205. I am hoping my brother sees my great results over this next year and will consider the sleeve surgery as well and if he does I will recommend he speaks with my patient facilitator Jessica Espina too! United Medical Care was great to make sure my payment to the hospital was timely and that I have my payments come out monthly from my checking. The checking in process at the hospital was great and I met new patients while waiting. Getting my driver from the airport to the hospital was fine and getting to Mexico and back across the border with my ID and birth certificate was fine. I really had a good experience with little to no pain after the surgery. I made sure I walked and only had ice chips and the broth with some juice when allowed. I had my chap stick and Gasex chewables which were helpful as well. I am so glad I brought my own pillow - so I slept well even though I was not in my regular bed! I had my own PJ's and did great! I just want to personally thank all the staff at BeLiteWeight to make this endeavor a reality and I can't say enough about Jessica Espina, she was awesome and I will always be grateful for her assistance before, during and after my surgery! And thank you Dr. Rod and Dr. Elmo - terrific men who really know their stuff! Thank you, Dana Geary (Clancy, Montana)
