Dr. Teixeira (works with Dr. Jawad in Orlando/Ocala)



Recommended Posts

Anyone use him? I can't seem to find reviews, positive or negative on him. I find lots of really good reviews of Dr. Jawad, but I like Dr. Teixeira, and haven't met Dr. Jawad. I am thinking he must be pretty good, or Dr. Jawad wouldn't have him working for him. But I'd feel better finding a few reviews!

(this is Andre Teixeira, not Julio Teixiera, who has lots of reviews)

Dr Teixeira did my RNY on 12/8/14, I LOVE him!!!! I am an RN for over 20 years and not easily impressed. He is an extremely talented and compassionate doctor. I can be really annoying, (nurses make horrible patients) but he was always kind and kept his sense of humor, (which is a big plus for me, laughter is the best medicine) I credit him with "saving my life" (ok maybe we accomplished that together!!) I tipped the scales at 360 lbs shortly before surgery and today was 280, not bad for 15 weeks post op. He always answers my questions promptly, I really cannot praise him enough. Good choice and good luck with your journey!!!!

He's the best of best in Central Florida Orlando. He did my VGS on 6/3/13. He's genuienly cares about his patients, passionate about what he does and is always there to help or answer any questions. He has a great sense of humor and always has a smile. I totally recommend him without a doubt. If I had to relive this episode in my life - i'll do it with my eyes closed. I've lost a total of 95 lbs from 240lbs to currently 145lbs. I hope this helps and if you ever need anything - i'm just an email away. Hope all goes well.

Kind Regards,
Yolanda Sanchez

Thanks all! I did have my surgery with him, and he was so caring and compassionate! I highly reccomend him. He also responds to my emails practically immediately, which is great when i have a question.

Thank you Katie for starting this thread. He's doing my surgery Monday August 10 and it's nice to see some good reviews. Maybe my butterfly's can settle some.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
