Dr. Louisiana Valenzuela, and Dr. Ismael Cabrera



Recommended Posts

Hello Everyone!

I plan on having the VSG at the end of January and I've been deciding between Dr. Ramos Kelly and Dr. Cabrera/Valenzuela. I've only read 2 reviews for the latter doctors and I'm having trouble finding people that have been sleeved by them. Has anyone here used them? If so, did you like them? Did you feel secure with your decision? Any complications? Please share your experience. I would so greatly appreciate it. Thank you!

All the reviews I've seen have been good but there are not alot of reviews out there on them though. I'm booked with them on the 17.

I was sleeved by them on 2/25/2013 and they did a great job. I didnt have any pain or anything the dr came in my room everyday at least two times to check an make sure all was going good. The nurses speak very good English and so does the dr I had a male nurse and he was wonderful I liked him the best but they are all great. If I had to do it all over again I would chose them Dr Venezuela and Cabera are great both of them.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
