I am not sure. I believe that there are two surgeons at this hospital and I do not know which one I have been assigned to?
the hospital doesn't assign surgeons. You usually pic your surgeon and he tells you which. Hospital he does surgery in. Is it Ungson and Beltran? They work together and you willbe I great hands. The hospital is perfectly fine .

So hard to find reveiw or comments about some doctors.
I realize some may be busy doing surgery and the online reviews are not that important.
However information is...
Anyone have any information.
I've been searching for reviews. Everything seems to be 2- 4 years old.
Is she still doing surgery?
Thanks

I have had a weight problem for about 15 years. My highest weight was 330 on January 5th, the day I joined our gym. I have been eating healthier and working out in the pool and I am down forty pounds. I just filled out the dr forms today to have the vertices sleeve done at Alameter Hospital. I am really nervous and would love to hear from others who may have had this procedure at this hospital. I am 57 and live in Texas.......
who is your surgeon?

I over packed of course. What I actually wore is a lot less. Lol. I was in the hospital for two nights. During that time I had a pair of pj's that I wore to walk the hallways and a pair of slip on shoes. Then I wore an outfit home of course. I would recommend taking a soft sports bra. I had one incision right on my bra line and underwire may have bothered it. I could not shower until the second evening. So just small travel toiletries was all I needed. Of course any meds that you are on.
I did take my eReader with me thinking I would be bored in the hospital. But between naps, walking the halls, and talking with the other 2 ladies that had surgery I never took it out of my suitcase.
Once I got to Texas there was a Walmart near the hotel. I bought some SF jello and water for my protein shake. I knew I had to have something that evening before surgery. And I had just a little left for after surgery. I knew i would be sitting at the airport for a little while and would need something.
I hope this helps.
