hopefulmom 0 Posted July 1, 2010 I had my surgery done by Dr Carcamo on 6/29/10, he is a great surgeon and has a very good bed side manner! I was very impressed! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Angera 2 Posted October 16, 2010 Dr. Carcamo banded me on aug 13th a month later on sep 17th, he also did my umbilical hernia/strangulated intestine repair! He came to my rescue with that second emergency surgery very glad he was prompt to take care of me a second time around! I've recommended him to two other folks, he did surgery on my boss today for a hernia, and he is going to do a lapband for another friend of mine! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dreamy Isabella 1 Posted May 28, 2011 I was banded by Dr. Carcamo on March 15, 2011. He is a great Doctor! He explained to me the entire surgery procedure and was very attentive the day of the surgery. I highly recommend him! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yvonne74 73 Posted March 16, 2012 I had my surgery on March 9, 2012 with Dr. Carcamo. I can't say that he has been overly nice. He never came to talk to me nor my sister who came with me. He compared me to a momma cow b/c I said I was putting soy milk in my Protein Shakes. I go for my first appt (after surgery on March 22). The nurses have been friendly but thats it. Nothing extra but just "nice". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scooterbyrd 6 Posted July 21, 2017 i had my lap band done by dr c in 2004 but i live in austin and have switched surgeons now to get a sleeve revision. he put the band in the wrong place then poked holes in my port tube. i had to have two revision surgeries. he was very hard on me for failing to keep my weight off even though it was because he unfilled my band and refused to fill it which is why i'm switching. he called me cow, a failure and many other awful things. the worst thing was the day before my knee replacement with another surgeon he said i would die on the table. my orthopedist was furious. dr is a great surgeon and did try to help me but his bedside manner in my case was terrible Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
