Dr Huacuz Should Sleeve Gastrectomy



Recommended Posts

LUCARTWLUCY, I read back on your post and you said you had the band with Dr. Huacuz then you said you had the D...Switch by Dr. Huacuz. Is there a reason you had both done. Or is this just advertising.

The Sleeve Gastrectomy, reduce the stomach volumen.The stomach is restricted by dividing it vertically and removing more than 8o% of it. This part of the procedure is not reversible. The stomach that remains is shaped like a banana and measures from 2-5 ounces.The nerves to the stomach and the outlet valve (pylorus) remain intact with the idea of preserving the functions of the stomach while reducing the volume. By comparison, in a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, the stomach is divided, not removed, and the pylorus is excluded. There is no intestinal bypass with this procedure, only stomach reduction. The main points about this procedure will be the stomach is reduce but it will funciton normally so most food items can be consemed in small amounts. Also Dr, Huacuz eliminated the portion of the stomach that produce hunger.

and I did some search before get the procedure done , and it is totally aprove by the ASBS , American Society fro Bariatric Surgery.

and Dr. Huacuz perform my procedure Laparoscopic, that makes the diference

You can visit the doctor website, and you will find information regarding the procedure and more, also they have a support group that just start.

Im really Happy with my results and I would do it again if possible..

Im down 130 Pounds and I still lossing weight.

Congrats to you happy@83. How long did you have the band before converting to the sleeve. I am not banded yet and I am just weighing all of my options before. I am REALLY leaning towards the band. So many have success with it and their are some that don't. I am trying to talk to both groups to get all of the pro's and con's of it. I am 106 lbs over weight and I am hoping that the band will help. Thanks!!!

<p>Glad to hear that you got a Lap Band, Im sure you will loss all the overweight that you have, remember to learn how not to regaing weight and in case that you may suffer from erotion or slippage and you lost your band, you most considerated the Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy, because they will eliminated the gastric fundus that produce the greline hormone that condition the hunger. Remember that the bariatric surgery is Considerate Metabolic surgery was the cause of the American Bariatric Surgery Association chance the name. </p> <p> </p> <p>www.verticalsleevegastrectomy.org</p> <p> </p> <p>www.sleevegastrectomy.orgHappy@83</p>

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
