Any one use Dr. Daniel Huacuz-Tijuana?

Being from Atlanta, I went to my local doctor who is a general Internist take them out. I never even considered having Dr. Huacuz taking them out due to the distance involved. As a side not, my experience with Dr. Huacuz and his staff has been absolutely wonderfull.

Huacuz told me my stitches would disolve and not to worry with it. Well, they never did and I had to remove them myself. Just another lie from him. BEWARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm sure there must of been a misunderstanding because I specifically ask Dr Huacuz the question about stitchs removal and he directly stated they should be taken out at 20 days post surgery. He did mention that if I choose, I could take them out myself. My experience with Dr. Huacuz and Dr. Romero has been nothing short of superior.

No misunderstanding. Along with the screwed up surgery, I received screwed up information such as if you cant get liquid down, just jump up and down. Also, the stitches will disolve, don't worry about them and I will follow up on you at the hotel, no one showed up, etc. What a rip off. This is what gives Mexico and surgery procedures a bad name.

Beware of the people that are paid to battle any less than perfect comments about Huacuz.

Oh please, paid to battle for Dr. Huacuz?? With all due respect, we have every right, as do you, to praise our doctor. I have seen you praise yours from previous posts, so please do not insinuate that we are being paid for such comments. It is obvious you did not have a good experience with him and for that I'm sorry, but it has been well documented for others to consider, so can we put it to rest?

I know that we all have different expiences but mine was good, I asked ahead of time about the stitches and dissove or not , I was never told they dissolve, I think that sometimes the language barrier maybe gets in the way , because there was several times that I would have to talk to Dr romero with dr haucuz this is not always his fault I mean we are going to his country for surgery we should know about the follow up care ,most of us are not going to go all the way back there to have these removed, like I said I know all of us have different experiences mine was good, so it is hard for me to imagine him lying he is so sweet with a great bedside manner, I plan to go back for a Tummy Tuck when needed, and have complete faith in him, This board scared me to death when reading it, but you have to come to the conclusion not everyone is perfect although we would like to hope so when dealing with our lives we are all human, Im sure that there have been people who dont like your current doctor but that does not make her any less of a surgeon, even top surgeons in the united states make mistakes,

I have every right to tell my story, give my comments and praise my surgeon. If I am correct Missy4Gordon, that is what you are doing! I am thankful that people use this forum for knowledge. I guess because I was told to put it to rest, I should .... When I feel like it is able to be put to rest, I will.

also just because we say good things about him doesnt mean we all are getting paid, sometimes it just means we are happy with our outcome, when people post replies of that nature it makes people leary of any comment on this board, it would be nice if we could all just be honest with each other,if you find another doc and you are happy with them and say good things does that mean you are getting paid? of course not,

dunatl this is yulaunda we were banded at the same day I think,hope your doing well, I just got my first fill dec9 it was painless and I went back for Dr romero to do this he did a great job I didnt even feel anything but the pressure of the fill

[Dunatl 0]

dizfan - Great hearing from you. I'm scheduled to get my first fill from Dr Romero on Jan 5th. Do you know the amount of fill you received? Have you noticed any difference in restriction since you had the fill?

[Dunatl 0]

ANEWVUE - I'm sorry that you had such a bad experience but I can assure you that I am not receiving any compensation regarding my comments about Dr. Huacuz. My experience was absolutely wonderfull and I stand by my statement that I would highly recommend him to anyone.

I was banded by Dr. Huacuz on 11/3/05 and have dropped 49# as of Sunday night! The good doctor told me I would be surprised at how quickly I lost and boy was I!! It's GREAt! I can walk without gasping for breath, don't have to fight the seat belt in the car.

I started out at a size 34 (well over 400#) and can now comfortably wear 26's. I know I have another 151# to go but this is GREAT! :Bunny I have no restriction but am NOT hungry! I make sure I eat 3 bandster meals a day and sometimes a snack. I also take a Vitamin and a Calcium supplement and drink around a gallon of Water every day.

Drs. Huacuz and Romero keep in contact with me by phone and email and since I have chosen them for follow up and fills all I have to do is drive across the border. Well, I DO live in San Diego. Of course I won't be needing a fill as long as I am losing and not hungry. I love the care I have gotten and would recommend them to anyone!

[arealsweety 0]

I plan to go back for a Tummy Tuck when needed, and have complete faith in him.

Oh YES! In about 2 years or so I will be going back for my tummy tuck and breast augmentation. I can already tell that my "friends" are leaving me. They are getting flatter already! DANGIT!

Missy4Gordon, I am scheduled to have my surgery on Friday, January 3rd. I have noticed several of your threads. It seems that you are pleased so far.... would you recommend Dr. Huacuz? Have you had any complications, discomfort or frustrations throughout this experience? Any regrets? I too am using Dr. Huacuz and I hate reading some of these negative threads about him.... should I be alarmed?
