Anyone see Dr. DeBarros in Arizona?



Recommended Posts

Hello, Good luck with your decision in picking your Dr, I'm in Tucson and am going through Dr Schwartz, There is a way to do a search on this site for different messages regarding your Dr, also, try obesity help.com, I went there to check out what other people were saying about my Dr and found the information comforting.

Good Luck!

Hi azcat,

Dr. Mote Schwartz did my banding on 2/6. My experience is that he is very competent and I am happy with my decision. He does seem to be rushed whenever I've spoken with him. Thats OK with me cause I don't like doctors that talk too much unnecessarily.

My wife and I just did our surgery with Dr. Michael Orris and Dr. John DeBarros on February 14. They are both great doctors and their staff and hospitals were just great.

Our surgeries went very well and the results are fantastic! :) I am now down :tongue2:85lbs and my wife is down :thumbup:92 lbs.

Usually men are a little bit faster, but I :thumbdown:have not been following the rules very well! :(:thumbup::party::)

I really need to get out and do some excercise, but this cold weather keeps me indoors playing on the computer instead!:(

      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.
