Megajoy25 0 Posted May 8, 2011 He is the one that is doing my surgery....very excited he seems so strict 3 week diet but still happy with my decision Dr. Aguila is also my doctor. I had to do a three week fast which became a 5 week fast because I had to postpone my surgery, caught a nasty cold! I lost 22 pounds by the time I had my surgery and now I am into my second week post-op. I will be seeing the doc on Monday for follow-up. Am doing great and I really appreciate the fact that Dr. Aguila cares about his patients so very much. Yes, he is strict, but would you want a doctor who really does not care about his patients? You won't regret having the surgery and I feel that Dr. Aguila and his staff are going to be a great help to me as I lose the weight! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FLORIDAYS 3,040 Posted November 8, 2011 He is strict.... but he listens which I find paramount in a Dr. I just saw him yesterday..... I am very happy he is my Dr. I love being successful for him... and me too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
morrjm 0 Posted April 14, 2012 He scares me. I feel like I can't ask him questions. I was a self-pay and didn't have to go through all of the hoops that insurance has to and I feel like I missed out on a lot of information about the band. I feel like the Dr. thinks I should already know the answers to my questions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blanham04 38 Posted April 20, 2012 He is my Dr. as well and I am getting banded on May 10th. I am very unhappy right now on my 3 week Optifast treatment, but I am suffering through it begrudgingly . I met with a lot of doctors before choosing him and I feel a little better knowing he used to be big himself. Also, the office staff are great and I love giving Tina a hard time!

xavtay2 85 Posted June 18, 2012 Hello all I love him yes he is strict but that is because he wants to see you succeed. Don't forget he was once in our shoes as being overweight and that is one of the main reasons I decided to go with him. The office personal is nice and he will answer any question for you but you can't be afraid to ask. Best of luck and success on your journey... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ms. Tonya 0 Posted July 24, 2012 I have dr aguila for my docter as well. I had my surgery April 2010. I have lost 90 lbs so far. I enjoy having this docter and he has been very understanding with any concerns that I have had. I would do this all over again with no regrets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maegan 51 Posted August 21, 2012 I'm doing great. I love dr a. He is easy to talk to if you try. He seemed a little intimidating at first, but he wants us to succeed and do well. He seems to have warmed up. Or it was all in my head that he was intimidating. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FLORIDAYS 3,040 Posted January 9, 2013 He scares me. I feel like I can't ask him questions. I was a self-pay and didn't have to go through all of the hoops that insurance has to and I feel like I missed out on a lot of information about the band. I feel like the Dr. thinks I should already know the answers to my questions. Wow I cannot believe this.... He answers all my questions including the dumb ones... I was self pay too and I didn't feel like I missed a thing. In fact I interviewed 3 drs before I settled on him. I hope since you posted this your feeling have changed and Your weight loss is satisfactory. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
