I had a seroma that opened up and I had to have the wound debreeded (sp) because it got infected. The surgeon that opened up the wound made the opening larger than the originalm opening. It started at 10 in by 7 in. Now I have a wound vaccuum and will have it for quite a while to heal up. It is frusterating. It is a good thing I am not working because there is no way I could get a home health nurse here after hours. The problem started because the drain on that side never drained anything. I mean NOTHING. The surgeon probably gone back in and moved the drain, but he never mentioned it. This can happen to anyone, regardless of the surgeon.

my plastic guy wants to do this procedure on me because I also have a lot of skin on my sides. I forgot to ask him what all this proceedure does and am hoping someone here can tell me their experiences. Thanks!

I had surgery with Dr Gonzales located at Medical Center of Dallas. It was a good experience.

I started saving after my sleeve and have almost all of it saved now.

I am going to use him once I save enough money. He was quick with calling back and answered all of my questions. My case is different as I have only lost 20 lbs since my surgery 18 months ago. Yes, I am followiing the diet, but I havent lost much. I take 3 different antipsychotics and everyone thinks that is part of the problem. Anyway,I want to get a panni and have lipo on my hips as they stick out. He was the only one that would take me on at 300lbs. Others would do the panni but not the lipo. His price is also competitive. The price he quoted me for not just a panni but tightening the muscles as well.

I had my lap band surgery with Dr Victor Gonzalez at Medical City. I moved before going to TJ to have a revision done. I should have gone with the sleeve to begin with.

I was deflated for 3 weeks before. My doc required it.

When I lived in Plano I went to Dr Cribben's talk about lap band. My insurance wouldnt pay for him, only Dr Gonzales. I feel like I had good care and the procedure was one at Medical Center, Dallas. I have since done a revision to a sleeve with Dr A Ortiz in TJ. I also felt I had excellent care.

Dr A Ortiz's office sent me a breakdown.

My surgeon filled out the paperwork for Ca disability. I wanted a long time off so I could also take a vacation. He gave me 6 weeks!

What department in Target did you find them, what were they located near

When I was there someone spent an extra day at the clinic because of having breathing problem. I am suremifnan extra day is needed you would stay.

I havent lost much weight and the docs and nutritionist feel it is bacause of the anitpsychotics I take. I am on high doses of three of them. I hate my panni as it hangs below my pubic bone.I also want to lipo on my hips. I have found one dr in TJ willing to take on the case. I was turned down totally by one doc and the other would do the panni but the lipo. Has anyone in my position looked into this surgery

Does anyone have the url for purchasing his protein powder? I bought some in the past, but cant find the link now.

Mylifeinpink, Who was your doc? I am thinking of going with Dr Quiroz
