Does anyone have any information on this doctor or have already had surgery with him? I am not finding anything on this doctor.

Oh; a doctor. I thought you'd discovered JESUS's last name :-). LOL.

 

Happy new year.

I can't find any info on him however someone said in another post that he's plenty experienced, he's just new to the tourism surgery market.

 

To be honest though, I personally wouldn't choose to put my life in the hands of the lowest priced guy. But that's just me.

I've been on the boards for 2 years and his name just started popping up. It doesn't mean that he isn't experienced - because every surgeon has to work under another one before going on his own.

I just never heard of him and did a lot of research prior to choosing my surgeon. Price was a factor in choosing my surgeon but I was also chatting with a lot of people that used him too and that made a big difference to me.

Well I was able to use my FSA card for Dr. Almamza through weight loss agents. So he will be the one doing my surgery and I am going alone

Going alone wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. Everyone checks on you and I met some cool people there that were also having the surgery.

      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.
