Why should you research your surgeon? This is why...

Mexico. Truth is he learned his trade from his partner. His partner is in Mexico. If it was already being done in Mexico how is he the "pioneer of lap surgery?" This same doc also claims 600 sleeves. Total crap, no way. He's 41 and he's the pioneer of lap surgery with 600 sleeves? He hasn't been in practice long enough to have done 600 sleeves. Those that have been in practice for 25 years don't have that many sleeves.

Believe nothing, believe nobody, research and verify everything.

Every doctor goes through a learning curve, it's how it is. Don't be part of someone's learning curve. Go to someone with experience.

I agree! EVERYONE should research the surgeon who is going to cut them open!

Do you know one time I was told, "My surgeon got through medical school and that is hard so he must be good!"

That was a Huacuz patient.

Just because someone got through medical school does not mean the doctor is good.

Research, verify. Believe nobody, believe nothing, verify everything.

      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?

      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.
