The only reason I chose Dr. Fang was because a co-worker recommended him. The staff hasn't given me too many problems yet.

I am in the West Valley as well. Goodyear.

I had the VGS on June 19, 2012 with Dr. Ortiz, in Tijuana, Mex., at the Obesity Control Center. I cannot say enough good things

about my experience. My insurance would not cover and was self pay. Dr. Ortiz and Dr. Martinez, they were wonderful. Great bedside manner...spent alot of time talking with me before and after the surgery.

I just recently found this site. Maybe you all could give me tips on how to put my picture on here and put the little weight scale on here too. : )

I am not the best on the computer.

Thanks and looking forward to chatting.

Anyone in Phoenix or the valley?

I'm in Glendale, and I will be getting sleeved by Dr. Swain at Scottsdale Bariatric Center. I haven't got my date yet, but I have 2 more doctor's visits.

I'm in the Litchfield park area. Congratulations on your surgery. I don't have any insurance (I'm a student and have a work study job), so Mexico just seemed a logical choice. How was your recovery? I leave tomorrow night and I'm on the verge of throwing up from nerves and excitement.

HI all.

I'm doing pretty good. No real issues to speak of. TOday I have a slight headache, but I think it;s sinuses. Surgery went very well. No pain from incisions. ALl pain from gass and air bubbles from drinking too much/too fast. Walked a lot, helps, but sipping is harder than it sounds. I was released before11 am Wednesday and saw DR P everyday. I had great care and have regrets.

Good luck to all of you on your upcoming surgeries!

I cannot speak for everyone....but I am so thankful that I was able to do this. It is not always easy but so worth it! I would do it all over again and I still have 40+ pounds to lose.

I was very nervous and scared too.

Best advice: Follow every little thing your doctor says...pre-surgery and post-surgery!

Hello Everyone! I live in West Phoenix, and was sleeved on October 17th b Dr. Kevin Potter at St. Josephs Hospital. Everything went very well, and I have lost 18 lbs since I weighed myself the morning of surgery. He was amazing and made me feel very comfortable from day one.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
