Adding A Surgeon To The Surgery Drop-Down On Profile.



Recommended Posts

There are many many MANY surgeons listed in the drop-down for the surgery information section on our profiles, but my surgeon isn't listed. He's done the sleeve surgery for a handful of us here on VST, although he is primarily known for his lap-band work. Is there any way to have him added? He's Dr. Ariel Ortiz with Obesity Control Center in Tijuana. Here's a link to his information on the OCC website.

We're very familiar with Dr. Ortiz. We're reaching out to surgeons this week with info on where they can go to update their profile on all our sites. They should get this info as well.

Hello,

Dr. Ortiz is indeed within our search directory, however - his last name was listed different. You should now be able to locate him as Dr. Ariel Ortiz :-)

You can view his profile here.

Can my surgeon be added? Mr Darrin Goodall-Wilson.

I'm from Australia. I've noticed a few Aussie doctors are listed.

Thanks.

Hi there,

I've added dr. Ponce de leon (Jaime ;-) ). You should now be able to choose him as your surgeon. I will reach out to the surgeon to see if he is interested in updating his profile to be complete :-)

Thanks,

Ken

Thanks again Ken. I'm still not seeing him in the selections available. Does it take a while for the programming to update?

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
