I'am having my LAP-BAND® surgery on Aug 12,08, by Dr. Huacuz. I'm so glad to hear you had such a good experience with him and his staff-that makes me a little less anxious!! Can't wait to get through this 10 day pre-op clear liquid diet though-ugh! not fun. Would like to hear about your experience, if you would like to write me..

Cindy W northsw54@Yahoo.com | Hey.....have you done any research on your own about that doctor and not just read what one person's reply might have been or that he's cheap......because he is cheap for a reason!!! Please do your research because I'm sure you might change you mind for having him do your surgery. I crossed him off my list before my surgery and glad I did once I did some digging!! Good luck either way in what path you take but have the surgery for sure because it has really changed my life for nothing but the better!!!

I have talked to several people who have had their bandings done by Dr. Huacuz. Everyone was very happy with him and his staff. Unless someone knows something specific I think it will be ok!!! Thanks for the concern  CeeleeW | |

I went to TJ and used Dr. Carvala. He was wonderful. I am a nurse and planned on turning around and walking out if things didn't meet up to my standard. Hospital Angeles was beautiful and one of the nicest hospitals I have been in. The staff was great. I had wonderful care and will probably go back for my plastic surgery later as I was so impressed. 
It is right over the border from San Diego and they make it very convenient. Quote:

I was banded by Dr. Aceves and I have a LOVE\HATE relationship with my band.....Some days I hate it and some days I love it! It has taken me 6 months to adjust and understand what I am suppose to be doing. But its working and has been a great learning experience! I dont regret my decision to have a band. Its just taken me a while to get a handle on it. The head hunger has been almost overwhelming at times! But, we learn as we go through this journey!
Good luck!

Good luck! | Lisa, Do not feel bad. its been a yr since I was banded and I still am trying to get the hang of my band. the band can be fickle , one day your tight the next day your not . one day you can eat a certain food the next day you can not eat that same food.
I too would not change my journey and I have had my fair share of issue w/ fills and unfills.

I got a question for you.....Do you get tighter when its going to rain or if its humidity outside? I can tell you when its going to rain every time! And yes, some days I can eat something the next I cant eat the same thing....But its working!

I thought it was nuts , but when I bought a Barometer and started paying attention to it. If the pressure falls below 30 i am tight.
You can track the pressure online . So if your tight one day check the pressure in your area if its 30 or higher watch out for the day you will most likely be tight .
