Dr. Teixeira (works with Dr. Jawad in Orlando/Ocala)



Recommended Posts

Anyone use him? I can't seem to find reviews, positive or negative on him. I find lots of really good reviews of Dr. Jawad, but I like Dr. Teixeira, and haven't met Dr. Jawad. I am thinking he must be pretty good, or Dr. Jawad wouldn't have him working for him. But I'd feel better finding a few reviews!

(this is Andre Teixeira, not Julio Teixiera, who has lots of reviews)

Dr Teixeira did my RNY on 12/8/14, I LOVE him!!!! I am an RN for over 20 years and not easily impressed. He is an extremely talented and compassionate doctor. I can be really annoying, (nurses make horrible patients) but he was always kind and kept his sense of humor, (which is a big plus for me, laughter is the best medicine) I credit him with "saving my life" (ok maybe we accomplished that together!!) I tipped the scales at 360 lbs shortly before surgery and today was 280, not bad for 15 weeks post op. He always answers my questions promptly, I really cannot praise him enough. Good choice and good luck with your journey!!!!

He's the best of best in Central Florida Orlando. He did my VGS on 6/3/13. He's genuienly cares about his patients, passionate about what he does and is always there to help or answer any questions. He has a great sense of humor and always has a smile. I totally recommend him without a doubt. If I had to relive this episode in my life - i'll do it with my eyes closed. I've lost a total of 95 lbs from 240lbs to currently 145lbs. I hope this helps and if you ever need anything - i'm just an email away. Hope all goes well.

Kind Regards,
Yolanda Sanchez

Thanks all! I did have my surgery with him, and he was so caring and compassionate! I highly reccomend him. He also responds to my emails practically immediately, which is great when i have a question.

Thank you Katie for starting this thread. He's doing my surgery Monday August 10 and it's nice to see some good reviews. Maybe my butterfly's can settle some.

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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?

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
