I personally think its important to hear the good and the bad about docs ?

Dr. Huacuz isn't my choice of doctors either so please don't think I am defending him but what did he do wrong to cause a slip? Have you called him? Have you given him a chance to explain what might be going on? Have you been PBing? Vomiting? Anything like that? Was the band not stitched into place properly?

I agree with WASA I would like to know what went wrong. Not my favorite doc either. But would like to know what happened exactly ?

I did not have my surgery with Dr. Huacuz, my former co-worker did even though she loved the treatment she recieved there during and post surgery she had a hard time being able to keep any fluids and food down. The surgery happened about 10 weeks ago and a week ago she was taken to the ER for an assessment which become a removal of the band then the placement of a new band. I was not present and I feel uncomfortable giving details about a situation like this. According to my friend`s report the band the dr. presented her was a new inamed and the band that was removed was a 7 year old band which was placed on the upper part of her eshophagus causing slippage and lower oxygen levels in the body. She is doing well now, bit up from the double surgery expenses but on her way to full recovery. I have heard of other patients being happy with Dr. Huacuz. I have personally talked to him and found him very competent. Maybe one situation is different from another and people have to judge for themselves.

I Continue Whit Excellent Evolution I Lost 30 Puons After Procedure I So Happy. Whit The Result My Sister Will Get The Surgery Whit Dr Huacuz Next Week. She Is Very Happy To.

I wouldn't go to him. Not a chance. Check this out, what she does not explain here is that Dr. Huacuz offered her $3,000 if she would not post this:

ObesityHelp - Gastric Bypass, LAP-BAND® System, DS and Other Surgical and Non-Surgical Weight Loss Options. - Profiles - Adrienne C's Profile

Sometimes that link works, sometimes it doesn't. OH is weird software. If it does not work you can go to Obesity Help - Weight Loss, Surgery, Support Groups, Forums, Surgical Procedures, search for members, search for Adee_baby and read her blog.

I don't believe I understand. Your friend had a band placed incorrectly, he placed it in such a manner that her O2 levels were compromised, it was on her esophagus, it slipped, she had to have it replaced weeks after surgery yet you find him competent from speaking to him on the phone?

Out of curiosity, ... how do you figure?

Hey, WASA!

I am a newbie, and you seem to be well informed. Although I think that I have done some thorough research, in my opinion, you can never have to much information especially when it comes to surgery and your body. I was wondering, what is you opinion of Dr. Ortiz in Mexico?

I don't get your post at all. Who are you talking to? Why did you make a post on this thread? You said you don't have time and your post doesn't make any sense to me or seem to be a part of what this thread is talking about.

      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.
