AAAARGH!!! Thought I made my choice, but...



Recommended Posts

Hey all,

I was getting so excited about having my surgery done by Dr. Ortiz(nothing final yet), but now I got several emails from Dr. Haucuz and they charge only $7550 and it includes airfare, hotel, surgery, transportation to and from the San Diego airport, etc... The only part that made me a tad nervous, was that they said the day after surgery, Dr. Haucuz comes to pick you up and take you to a clinic in oldtown Tijuana to get a flouroscopy done. :nervous

Has anyone had the whole experience with Dr. Huacuz. sounds like a great deal but rather different that some others.

Peace,

Judy

Why would you need a flouroscopy done the day after surgery? Are they going to give you a fill that soon?

I went to Dr. Joya and he was $8k including surgery, hotel, transportation and airfare...

But I wouldn't make price the final determinant really. I would go with who you feel most comfortable with.

I had Flouruscopy done the day after surgery. My doctor wouldn't release me until it was done to make sure everything was ok before I went home. I had mine done here in Dallas.

My doctor required the same thing.

      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.

        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.

      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!
