BararticPal and Dr. Zavalza - Best of the best!



Recommended Posts

Wow where do I start...

I was sleeved on march 16th 2015. BariatricPal did it all from A to Z. Picking up, dropping off from the hospital, airports and the recovery house. You're never alone and you have someone taking care of you 24/7.

Walking after your surgery is sooooo important. I have my own personal liaison, Juan! Juan takes you walking everywhere. All over the beautiful city site seeing!! Woohoo!!.. I absolutely loved that. We got to go to the beach and look at some of their amazing shops.

I found Dr. Zavalza through BariatricsPal Deals. Dr. Z was extremely thorough. He Skyped with me several times to answer any questions or concerns and made my transition to the hospital very easy. The morning of my surgery, I met my doctors and their staff.

Dr Luna is my own personal dietitian. He handles all my follow-up post op consultation. The surgery went great. Virtually painless other than feeling a little groggy and some discomfort from my drain tube. Oh of course gas from the surgery ;-( , discomfort level is different for everyone. I must say it was very minimal discomfort. I made sure to walk walk walk I know that helped me a lot!

I was released two days later after I passed all my tests for the all clear. The doctors had several follow up visits. Both of them came out to see me and make sure I was doing well to send me off with all the information I needed. After hugs and pictures off I went to rediscover my new like and new found freedom.

It was truly a blessing to find this group. I went there all by myself but never felt alone. Thank you so much team BariatricPal for all your hard work!!..

UPDATE I'm coming BACK with my cousin!!! Nothing but the best for my family!! ONLY bararticPal!! Thank you for making one of the biggest decision of my life as smooth as possible...

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
