I live in Palestine and he use to practice here. I only heard good things about him. The local paper said that he moved to Dallas, because the hospital would not buy the necessary equipment for larger people to have surgery!

Dr. Rodriguez did my surgery on 07/27/2010. I think he's the best of the best. He is truly "pro patient" and very compassionate, as well as a highly skilled surgeon. Would highly recommend him.

I am having my surgery done by another doctor (I work for a hospital group and surgery must be done at one of their facilities and he doesnt practrice there), but he is who I am going to get my fills from.

A girl I work with goes to him and loves him.

I had surgery done by him several years ago. I know I would look elsewhere. I used Dr. Fox at True Results in Richardson.

Loved him and his staff. That is my opinion for what it is worth.

I am considering this surgeon and was wondering if you could expand on the reasons why you wouldn't recommend him.

Thanks!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
