Recommended Posts

I have 2 friends that went to him...over there at mount sinai right? One friend looks so good!!!! I wanted to go to him!!! I even made an appointment...She has kept the weight off and went to get cosmetic surgery...SHE LOOKS SO GOOD!!!! But another friend had major complications!!! She had to have 8 surgeries to fix what he did and she cried to me and begged me not to go to him...she lost so much weight so fast because she could not eat anything...every time she ate she threw up!!! She was so week!!! All of her hair fell out...she had a career and had to stop working. Now she is better and gaining good weight back but she went to another doctor to fix what he did.

DO NOT PICK A DOCTOR BASED ON FEES/COSTS!!! This is your life and it's important that you pick a doctor with the BEST track record and not one who's the most convenient or the cheapest.

I have done some research and a friend had it done so i had limited my choices to this doctor or another. I am really looking into some insight and of course cost is a factor.

I used De La Cruz. So far, I cant really say anything negative. I also cant help you on the cost issue, I was an insurance pay. He did great with the surgery though, I have healed relatively quickly and an looking forward to losing more weight. Let me know if you have any questions.

He banded me yesterday and he was fantastic at my initial consult and at my surgery yesterday, but obviously, I haven't lost anything yet, so check with me again in a week or two for more. I feel fantastic, though- took a long nap today but am not too uncomfortable at all!

      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!
