I liked the whole exsperience with Haucuz, he and his staff were great. I went for a fill after surgery and the Md could not fill it.She said it was not right that it was flipped. I called chewing ass! He assured me that it was not flipped like she said. He also offered to re do what ever he needed to. I went to a local surgeon and he was able to fill my band by touch not floro. My fill Md. calls me Paco because I chose to go to Mexico. I hate it but he fills my band. I explained if the State were not so HIGH and we would not have DAMN exclusions ( I was insured at the time of surgery ) Then I would have had it here in the US!I am down! I started yesterday I have a cruise for my anniversary on May 2nd 2009 I have lost a total of 44 pounds since July the 25th 2008 without excersising due to the lap band. But I need to lose the lat 12 pounds to be under the 200 mark this is the hardest for me! Good luck I am at 212 lbs nowI think that everyone has complications. Some minor and some majior. I also feel that hear say is not a good enough excuss to bad mouth someone. If YOU had the surgery and almost died, then you would be able to talk about your experience. I had a great time, the surgery was without complications. I think that he was very nice, and professional. That was my opinion. That is my story! And if the plastic surgieon is that same was as Dr. H. then yes I will use him. I went had surgery, and returned home two days later I was back at work. Tara P.I did he was great, his staff was wonderful and they were all very friendly. I went to get my first fill and they said they could not fill it. I called him in a hysteria. He said there was no way that it was put in wrong , he called me right back once I called. He told me not to worry If I could get back there he would fill it and if It had to be redone he would make sure I was taken care of! I calmed down and went to a local surgeon to have it filled within a min. or two he filled it and also told me it was just fine. I am now considering going back to get my tummy tuck this spring. I will testify to this my email is scalisisolano@yahoo.com
