Anyone Sleeved By Dr. Jorge Acosta Or Dr. Michael Lara (El Paso)
HFLO replied to AdeptDreamer's topic in Weight Loss Surgeons & Hospitals
He didnt request that we go on a pre-op diet. but we did anyway, so the surgery would go easier. We did 5 protein shakes a day for a week before surgery, except for the day before, which was just clear liquid. -

My sister and i had our surgeries with Dr Lara on 9/18. They went great. He is a great Dr. The staff at the hospital are excellent and really take care of all of your needs. There was very little pain. -

My sister and i are scheduled for 9/21 with Dr. Lara. I have heard good things about Dr Acosta, but also good things about Dr. Lara. He's very serious about his work. I'm hoping things go well. -
Converting From Laproscopic To Open Surgery-Anyone
HFLO posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Has anyone gone in thinking they would have it done laproscopically and because of prior scar tissue, they had to convert it to an open surgery? I had open gallbladder surgery years ago and am concerned about having to have it done as an "open" surgery. Thanks.
