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.

      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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
