The Molding Clinic and Dr. Huacuz have disolved that practice. He can is not authorized to put on the American Lap Band due to a problem with a patient. Andres Betancourt has opened Betancourt Medical who have a great surgeon and staff. Andres has 13 years of experience and is also banded. If you need any more information go to Betancourtmedical.comhttp://home.comcast.net/~terryrohr/Pics/beforeafterShirley.jpg

Here are my befor and during pictures

I dont know where you are getting your information but for what I know Dr. Huacuz is authorised to work with the INAMED company.

I call the Inamed and call them to get all copy of documents and make sure that he is a Inamed approve Surgeon, I did all this research before my surgery that has been 1 year ago by now.

all the patients that I had spoke from his Hospital, have Inamed brands o.k....

I don't know where they got their information either. I was banded in a hospital in Tijuana by Dr. Huacuz in November 2005 and have an IMAMED band. I also did my research ahead of time.

dr. huacuz put in my band and it is INAMED, i saw it before he did my surgery. they let you open the box and it comes with a card that has the id number and certification, so you know you are gettin the correct band. you carry the small card in your wallet in case you ever need to replace your band. it has the seriel number and all that stuff. good luck. i lost over 90 lbs and am doing great.

YOYO,

I'm with you. I'm not sure where that info is coming from.....

Dr Huacuz has his own clinic & he is indeed authorized to put in Inamed band. He did mine in March 12, 2007. I also checked with Inamed, & in fact have my band serial number.

I had follow up here in the U. S. & everything is exactly where it should be. In fact the Dr. that did my fill said the placement was perfect.:)

I´m really sorry about the bad experience that you and your wife had.

Dr. Huacuz and Betancourt are no longer together since 3 years by now, and he was his own clinic. I had the best of the experiences on his clinic he ask me two stay 2 day on his facility, and the nurses were so carrying all the time that I has there. if I had the chance to do this one more time, I´m positive that I will go to his surgical center again.

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
