Hi

I am considering having sleeve surgery with Dr. Altamirano has anyone had a gastric sleeve with Dr Altamirano and can share their experience.

Thanks

Alison

I was on 1/8/15. Very knowledgable and caring. He checked on my daily, answered all my questions and prepared me for my new life after surgery. He understands the metabolic changes we experience well and can explain them. And his compassion is second to none. You will be be in great hands.

I had surgery with him just over seven weeks ago and I am down 45 pounds. He is great. He visited me every day in the hospital and also at the recovery house. He spent a lot of time with my mom and me, answering all of our questions until my mom felt comfortable. He is so nice and so knowledgable. He is the best.

I was fortunate enough to talked to Dr. A and, as everyone said I would, I LOVED him!

He was so caring and knowledgeable. I am so excited to see what the future brings and meet his team! I was beyond impressed! 

 

I joined his facebook group and am happy to be a part of it!

 

Thank you for the reply, Dr. A seems great and I am excited!

I am so happy to hear this! My deposit is paid, no surgery date YET but it is soon to follow!!!!

We are loving Dr A, I haven't schedule mine even though I made my deposit, what a great guy, he makes you feel so comfortable, he's so smart, he answered all my question, all his patients are very happy with their result, I know I shouldn't worry, neither do you! CONGRATULATIONS!

I had Gastric Sleeve by Dr. Altimarano on May 28, 2015. His bedside manner was great; very caring, very knowledgeable. My surgery was originally planned for May 27 but I had issues getting to San Diego due to bad weather. He was at the Recovery House when I arrived, he held my hand as the anesthesiologist was putting me to sleep, he even saw me off on Sunday before leaving. ????????????????

Today is day 12, I return to work in the morning, feel great, still getting to know my new little stomach.

I know I feel SO comfortable with him as my doctor! I am very excited!

I am scheduled with him this Monday June 15th, He has been incredible so far, I have a slightly unique situation as far as my health history goes. So I have had multiple questions that popped up after my Skype session, and he and his team have answered everyone of them quickly and detailed. I actually thought to myself..."I wish it was this easy to get a hold of my pcp here in the states and I am able to understand what they are saying much easier then my doctors here that forget I don't have a medical degree...there is no language barrier , wonder if I could stick with them lol"

I am not a Facebook expert.

If I join Dr. "A" Facebook group will everyone in my Facebook friends list be able to see that I joined that group.

I am not ready to tell anyone yet.

No, your friend on Facebook will never know because it is a close group, so don't worry, only people on the same group can tell if you're a member, but I repeat..NOT OUTSIDERS!! 

Have a consult (Skype) with Dr. A. Just ready to get my life headed in a different direction.

congratulation
