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!

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. :)

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.

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!

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...

I had my surgery with him 6 days ago! I think he is great and I live the office staff as well. I have no conplaints about him personally. Only complaint would be having to travel so far.

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.

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.

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.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
