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 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 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 :D , 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!!

      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!!

      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?
