Dr Huacuz Should Sleeve Gastrectomy



Recommended Posts

LUCARTWLUCY, I read back on your post and you said you had the band with Dr. Huacuz then you said you had the D...Switch by Dr. Huacuz. Is there a reason you had both done. Or is this just advertising.

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.

Congrats to you happy@83. How long did you have the band before converting to the sleeve. I am not banded yet and I am just weighing all of my options before. I am REALLY leaning towards the band. So many have success with it and their are some that don't. I am trying to talk to both groups to get all of the pro's and con's of it. I am 106 lbs over weight and I am hoping that the band will help. Thanks!!!

<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>www.sleevegastrectomy.orgHappy@83</p>

      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.
