He is the BEST. His clinic is the BEST. Friend him on FB and you can watch live surgeries on Friday. I used him for my LapBand several years ago, but couldn't afford him for my sleeve revision or I would have gone there!!!

check out "see Jane shrink" on YouTube. I believe that is the dr she used

actually she might have went through "A lighter me"

ALM is affiliated with Dr Elias Ortiz. That was my surgeon and my wife's as well.

I can't do any comparison, because I only went for surgery once and went through ALM, but I can testify to the world class treatment we received.

From start to finish, we were treated with the utmost respect. Our questions were addressed by the medical staff and coordinators, and we receive several emails weekly from their aftercare nurse giving us hints, tips and post op diet instructions.

They also have a Facebook group with lots of past and present patients, and access at my fingertips to questions, success stories that are updated daily and people discussing what works for them, and what doesn't.

Again, I have no frame of reference to compare these groups or surgeons, but I could not be happier with how my experience went.

      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.
