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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
