Anyone use Dr. Boone or ALSA Medical Group in CA?



Recommended Posts

Hi. I'm using Dr. Boone in Fresno, CA. I know that a lot of people go to him. It would be nice to have support from others that are going to him as well or just to ALSA Medical Group. Thanks!

I have my consult on the 2nd but not with Dr. Boone. I was suppose to have surgery 4 years ago with Swartz and got sick and admitted to Heart hospital 1 week before surgery uncontrollably vomiting. Swartz cancelled the surgery and ultimately said I was no longer a candidate because I have Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome. I lost 40lbs in 3 months but once it was diagnosed and treated I stopped.. kept it off... until I got sick and was put on prednisone for my lungs and here we are again.

Do you know what the surgery scheduling time frame is like currently? I’m miserable.

I am currently waiting for insurance approval hoping for surgery with Dr Boone in the next few weeks. How did your surgery go? Any tips for a newbie?

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
