Recommended Posts

I have 2 friends that went to him...over there at mount sinai right? One friend looks so good!!!! I wanted to go to him!!! I even made an appointment...She has kept the weight off and went to get cosmetic surgery...SHE LOOKS SO GOOD!!!! But another friend had major complications!!! She had to have 8 surgeries to fix what he did and she cried to me and begged me not to go to him...she lost so much weight so fast because she could not eat anything...every time she ate she threw up!!! She was so week!!! All of her hair fell out...she had a career and had to stop working. Now she is better and gaining good weight back but she went to another doctor to fix what he did.

DO NOT PICK A DOCTOR BASED ON FEES/COSTS!!! This is your life and it's important that you pick a doctor with the BEST track record and not one who's the most convenient or the cheapest.

I have done some research and a friend had it done so i had limited my choices to this doctor or another. I am really looking into some insight and of course cost is a factor.

I used De La Cruz. So far, I cant really say anything negative. I also cant help you on the cost issue, I was an insurance pay. He did great with the surgery though, I have healed relatively quickly and an looking forward to losing more weight. Let me know if you have any questions.

He banded me yesterday and he was fantastic at my initial consult and at my surgery yesterday, but obviously, I haven't lost anything yet, so check with me again in a week or two for more. I feel fantastic, though- took a long nap today but am not too uncomfortable at all!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
