Dr. Altamirano or Dr. Zarvalza?



Recommended Posts

I am trying to decide between these two surgeons. Have you had any experience with either one, good or bad?

Dr. Altamirano did my sleeve and he's magnificent. I've heard wonderful things about Dr. Zavalza as well. I know Dr. A does skype consults and I bet so does Dr. Z, I would schedule a skype consult with both of them and see who you connect with the most and go from there. I don't think you could go wrong with either one.

Dr. Altamarino was my surgeon aswell! He is awesome, Professional medial work plus Great bedside manners.

He came to me After i was released because i had a light Fever (nothing serious) but he was there 20 Minuten After i contacted him on a Sunday evening. Had No Paid After surgery, just highly Renommend him!

I Travelled 10000 Miles to TJ and Dr. A and it was the best decision of my life!

Im booked with Dr A for a few weeks from now and I can't wait. I am a member of his support groups on Facebook where he is super active and he has always been available to answer questions I have in a super timely manner. I have heard absolutely nothing but wonderful things about him!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      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! 😞
