Dr. Huacuz isn't my choice of doctors either so please don't think I am defending him but what did he do wrong to cause a slip? Have you called him? Have you given him a chance to explain what might be going on? Have you been PBing? Vomiting? Anything like that? Was the band not stitched into place properly?

I agree with WASA I would like to know what went wrong. Not my favorite doc either. But would like to know what happened exactly ?

I did not have my surgery with Dr. Huacuz, my former co-worker did even though she loved the treatment she recieved there during and post surgery she had a hard time being able to keep any fluids and food down. The surgery happened about 10 weeks ago and a week ago she was taken to the ER for an assessment which become a removal of the band then the placement of a new band. I was not present and I feel uncomfortable giving details about a situation like this. According to my friend`s report the band the dr. presented her was a new inamed and the band that was removed was a 7 year old band which was placed on the upper part of her eshophagus causing slippage and lower oxygen levels in the body. She is doing well now, bit up from the double surgery expenses but on her way to full recovery. I have heard of other patients being happy with Dr. Huacuz. I have personally talked to him and found him very competent. Maybe one situation is different from another and people have to judge for themselves.

I wouldn't go to him. Not a chance. Check this out, what she does not explain here is that Dr. Huacuz offered her $3,000 if she would not post this:

ObesityHelp - Gastric Bypass, LAP-BAND® System, DS and Other Surgical and Non-Surgical Weight Loss Options. - Profiles - Adrienne C's Profile

Sometimes that link works, sometimes it doesn't. OH is weird software. If it does not work you can go to Obesity Help - Weight Loss, Surgery, Support Groups, Forums, Surgical Procedures, search for members, search for Adee_baby and read her blog.

I don't believe I understand. Your friend had a band placed incorrectly, he placed it in such a manner that her O2 levels were compromised, it was on her esophagus, it slipped, she had to have it replaced weeks after surgery yet you find him competent from speaking to him on the phone?

Out of curiosity, ... how do you figure?

Hey, WASA!

I am a newbie, and you seem to be well informed. Although I think that I have done some thorough research, in my opinion, you can never have to much information especially when it comes to surgery and your body. I was wondering, what is you opinion of Dr. Ortiz in Mexico?

I am on obesityhelp too, that is where I have most of my posts.

wasabubble pressure of the esophagus can reduce oxygen by blockage of air....

I don't get your post at all. Who are you talking to? Why did you make a post on this thread? You said you don't have time and your post doesn't make any sense to me or seem to be a part of what this thread is talking about.
