Does anyone go to Dr. Huacuz, in TJ, for fills.I didnt have my surgery with him but he also does cosmetic surgery so I thought I should go check him out and see if I like him. And what about pricing?

I chose him to do my banding but a local doc to do the adjustments.

I met a few of his patients and was very impressed by their results. Also met a few while I was there.

Be careful, there are several on here who speak negatively of Dr. Huacuz every time his name comes up. Don't know if it is because they were banded by his competion, maybe they get an incentive for a referral or something...don't know.

And there are a few who claim to know one of Dr. Huacuz's patients who things went terribly wrong with.....so

do your research. But I would use him for everything I needed-if I was going to have more procedures.

I think for a fill, Dr. Huacuz would be a good choice. He uses floroscopy at a local clinic and is a very kind man.

I was banded by Dr. Huacuz in 11/08. He did a fill for me the day after surgery, and I really appreciated being able to see the band and my restriction level.

I would go to him anyday for a fill, if I was closer to him.

I would not go back to him for any type of surgery.

No, it's because he has horrible stats and a terrible reputation.

I don't always go to my doctor for fills, and there are several others I would recommend for either surgery or fills. Huacuz is definitely not one of them. "Be careful" is right!

      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.
