The Molding Clinic and Dr. Huacuz have disolved that practice. He can is not authorized to put on the American Lap Band due to a problem with a patient. Andres Betancourt has opened Betancourt Medical who have a great surgeon and staff. Andres has 13 years of experience and is also banded. If you need any more information go to Betancourtmedical.comhttp://home.comcast.net/~terryrohr/Pics/beforeafterShirley.jpg

Here are my befor and during pictures

I dont know where you are getting your information but for what I know Dr. Huacuz is authorised to work with the INAMED company.

I call the Inamed and call them to get all copy of documents and make sure that he is a Inamed approve Surgeon, I did all this research before my surgery that has been 1 year ago by now.

all the patients that I had spoke from his Hospital, have Inamed brands o.k....

YOYO

I don't know where they got their information either. I was banded in a hospital in Tijuana by Dr. Huacuz in November 2005 and have an IMAMED band. I also did my research ahead of time.

dr. huacuz put in my band and it is INAMED, i saw it before he did my surgery. they let you open the box and it comes with a card that has the id number and certification, so you know you are gettin the correct band. you carry the small card in your wallet in case you ever need to replace your band. it has the seriel number and all that stuff. good luck. i lost over 90 lbs and am doing great.

YOYO,

I'm with you. I'm not sure where that info is coming from.....

Dr Huacuz has his own clinic & he is indeed authorized to put in Inamed band. He did mine in March 12, 2007. I also checked with Inamed, & in fact have my band serial number.

I had follow up here in the U. S. & everything is exactly where it should be. In fact the Dr. that did my fill said the placement was perfect.:)

I´m really sorry about the bad experience that you and your wife had.

Dr. Huacuz and Betancourt are no longer together since 3 years by now, and he was his own clinic. I had the best of the experiences on his clinic he ask me two stay 2 day on his facility, and the nurses were so carrying all the time that I has there. if I had the chance to do this one more time, I´m positive that I will go to his surgical center again.

      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.
