Having my surgery with Dr Del Pino. How was your experience ? anything I should look out for?

It was great! Had mine with him last Thursday and he really is amazing at what he does. Already ten lbs down.

Thats great to hear. my sister did lap band with him, but Ive chosen to do sleeve. I had a question, did you have staples on incisions, if so how long to remove them?

No staples. He puts some sort of glue. No worries they are very small compared to some I have seen from other doctors.

I am a Dr. Garza patient. Going on 8 months on the 21'st. Honestly I haven't heard the best stories about Dr. Reyes. Dr. Del Pino did my gallbladder surgery and I had no issues with him. As long as you feel confortable with him, that's all that matters. Best of luck! :)

I also have not heard the best stories from Dr. Reyes. I did my surgery with Dr. Del Pino and I have no regrets! Never been happier and I'm only 5 days post op and already 10 lbs down.

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

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
