Hi Karen, and welcome to the forums. I am not familiar with him, but thought I would "bump" your post in the hopes that someone who is will see it and respond.

Hi Karen, I'm researching him too, very interested to find out about the single incision recovery. Who did you book him through ?

No - not scheduled yet. I also contacted Mexico Bariatric Center - they told me August 8 was only availability right now. i guess he's not there all the time. I was actually looking for Doctor Kelly when I happened upon the single incision deal (I like that there is no drain with that too as a lot of people do experience most pain from their drain) I hope to be able to read a few more reviews about him. By the way, they quoted me $5200 for Dr Diaz - does that sound about right ? (our insurance won't cover me)

LESLIE, I JUST FOUND SOMEONE WHO'S BEEN TO DR DIAZ. HERE IS HER POST: I have nothing but GREAT reviews for Dr. Diaz. He takes his time to explain everything and will give you a lecture/pep talk at the end. I felt very comfortable around him. The nurses were great. There are several that don't speak a lot of English but will get a nurse that understands you. Dr. Diaz had 2 other patients on the floor with me and none of us had any problems moving around. Everyone only had 1 incision but he will explain if he has to do another incision he will for everything to be safe. The same day I was released my husband and I were out shopping and walking around the entire afternoon. I was sore but not in any pain. Make sure you walk as much as possible. Did I mention I did't have any drain tube. I was excited about that! The plane ride was no problem and the ride in the car was no problem either. I returned to work less than a week afterwards and have not had any issues. Make sure you take your meds especially the ones for acid reflux. I need to update my clicker because I've lost closer to 40lbs now. My scar has healed great and is barely noticeable at all. I prefer to lose slower so I have enough time to firm/tighten up as I lose. I have been exercising since week 4 walking 2-3 miles a day min of 10,000 steps a day along with an exercise DVD seven days a week. I am on My Fitness Pal I log there everyday everything I eat and drink even Vitamins. Hopefully this helps. I have no regrets and would do it again in a heart beat. Let me know if I can answer any questions.http://www.gastricsl...ngbacktome.html

Thanks for posting that Karen ! - it really helps to read a first hand account. I have to make a choice soon and definitely leaning toward Dr Diaz now.

I am scheduled for single-incision surgery with Dr. Diaz on August 8th. I guess it's just kind of hitting me now that I'm getting surgery REALLY SOON! I feel like I still have so much to learn and plan, especially when it comes to food and stuff. I'm glad there are some people here going through it at around the same time as me. Nice to meet all of you!

Dr. Carlos Diaz with the Mexico Bariatric Center. He does single-incision surgery, which is the reason I booked with him.

I'm 18 days post-op from my single-incision surgery with Dr. Diaz and can report that everything went well. I'm down 22 pounds so far and aside from the usual challenges of figuring out how much I can eat in a sitting, I've had zero problems.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.

      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!!
