<p>Glad to hear that you got a Lap Band, Im sure you will loss all the overweight that you have, remember to learn how not to regaing weight and in case that you may suffer from erotion or slippage and you lost your band, you most considerated the Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy, because they will eliminated the gastric fundus that produce the greline hormone that condition the hunger. Remember that the bariatric surgery is Considerate Metabolic surgery was the cause of the American Bariatric Surgery Association chance the name. </p> <p> </p> <p>www.verticalsleevegastrectomy.org</p> <p> </p> <p>Happy@83</p>

I stop loosing weight with my Lap Band after a year and fourt months, plus I suffer from erosion on my Band my Doctor remove the Band , also I think my over weight was too much that Lap Band was not the best solution on my case, so I when for Sleeve Gastrectomy after Dr. Huacuz explain to me the procedure, and it worked for me since then.

The Sleeve Gastrectomy, reduce the stomach volumen.The stomach is restricted by dividing it vertically and removing more than 8o% of it. This part of the procedure is not reversible. The stomach that remains is shaped like a banana and measures from 2-5 ounces.The nerves to the stomach and the outlet valve (pylorus) remain intact with the idea of preserving the functions of the stomach while reducing the volume. By comparison, in a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, the stomach is divided, not removed, and the pylorus is excluded. There is no intestinal bypass with this procedure, only stomach reduction. The main points about this procedure will be the stomach is reduce but it will funciton normally so most food items can be consemed in small amounts. Also Dr, Huacuz eliminated the portion of the stomach that produce hunger. and I did some search before get the procedure done , and it is totally aprove by the ASBS , American Society fro Bariatric Surgery. and Dr. Huacuz perform my procedure Laparoscopic, that makes the diference You can visit the doctor website, and you will find information regarding the procedure and more, also they have a support group that just start. Im really Happy with my results and I would do it again if possible.. Im down 130 Pounds and I still lossing weight. Happy@83

I´m a sucessful patient from Huacuz Surgical Center I had the Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy after my Lap Band removal. my experience has been wonderful, I stop loosing weight with my Lap Band after a year and fourt months, plus I suffer from erosion on my Band . My weight was 310 pounds and I got all my over weight back, and I think a little more than that. I was feeling fustrated and depressed, so I when back to Dr. Huacuz, and he gave me all the information about The Sleeve Gastrectomy, which I think is a really good desicion , because you dont have to worry about fills and the way you loss your over weight is faster, than Lap Band,because he remove the area of the stomach that will produce the hormone that produce the hunger, plus the new stomach will be 30 onces, and is really easy to maintain your weight. Now Im down 130 pounds and I´m still lossing 6 pounds per week and I had my procedure done seven months ago. I feel great, and really happy with the results, I dont have to worry about erosion, follow ups or any thing like that. I LOVE MY DOCTOR!! happy@83
