  1. Happy 60th Birthday jlweb55!

  2. I had surgery there on 10/17/2011 and when I entered this very little office in a run down strip center, I almost ran. But I had to loose weight for my heart and so I went ahead with the DS surgery. I have had a hospital borne infection and I have been on antibiotics for over 40 days now. I had to cancel my cruise that I had paid for a year in advance with no refund, because my Doctor said if my fever got any higher I would have to go in intravenious antibiotics in the hospital. This place is so small only one restroom up and one restroom down. The 4 rooms they have are so small that the beds are only 1 foot apart. This is not a hospital it is a very small office building with not even a bath. Everyone has to share the restroom . Not sure what I was thinking when I did this but you are risking your life if you choose this place. Now the doctors seem to be ok, but the facility they have to use is very bad. There prices are great, but there is a reason. For a little more you can go to a real hospital and not have to take such a risk. Thanks jlweb55

    The date is nearing closer!

    If you are diabetic ask your endo or reg doc about victoza,I have lost 9 lbs in two weeks, and have wonderful control of my blood sugar. I have no appetite at all. I wish I had found this before I had gastric sleeve, which did not work or the lapband which did not work. But it was not approved until jan 2010. But I have it now and I think it is a miracle drug for weight loss. thanks judy

    Victoza,The miracle weight loss drug

    I just started on Victoza 2 weeks ago, It is a new once daily injectable, very easy no pain. I have no appetite and have lost 9 lbs in 13 day. It is supposed to be for type 1 an 2 diabetics , but the drug is so succesful for weight loss that doctors are putting their overweight patients that are not diabetic on it in smaller doses and it is working great for weight loss. I have had two weight loss surgerys, lapband and the sleeve. I did not have any success with either one. This is the first time in my life that I think I have found the answer. Do not wait. Get your doc to give you a sample. Oh by the way, it does make you tired with a little stomach upset at first , the best time to take it is right before bed. There are blogs on this all over the internet. Just google Victoza discussion. Good Luck Judy:thumbup:

    Gastric Sleeve

    I used Dr Huacuz, He did not get my pouch small enough, He will not do it again without full payment. I would not use him again for this reason. thanks jlweb55
  7. Hi I think that the doc did not get my stomach small enough.It does happen, I understand. I am not happy. Dr Huacuaz will not do anything about it . I would have to pay full price for him to do it again. I would not use him again because of this. thanks jlweb55

  8. May I asked what happened with your VSG procedure. You are the first person I've heard say that it failed. I'm looking into it and I want to fully educate myself on the proc AND cons. Also, who performed your surgery? Any feedback would be helpful.

     

    Thanks,
