Topic: RE: Are pre-operative tests done?

I just had a revision from Lap Band to Sleeve 8/9/22 Go Light with Dr Z. They definitely do a full pre op testing before surgery.

I had a full panel blood work, chest CT scan, EKG, and they now preforms endoscopy before and after surgery. I was also sent to a specialist to have a endoscopy to check out my stomach and lap band before he did my surgery.

The sent my home with tow flash drives on from the Specialist of my endoscopy and one with my whole surgery.

I am looking at going to Mexico for revision from RNY to ???. I don't know what is best for me. But, my dr. won't do anything. I had original surgery 20 years ago and have gained about 70 of 110 lbs. back. I am so unhappy. I just need help getting some of this weight off. Thanks.

What can I do to help? I would be happy to give you the name of the group I went through and their phone number to call and set up something with Dr. Rod if you like.

I"m not sure why your surgeon will not do anything to help - that's so wrong.

Topic: Dr. Alvarez, Endobariatrics

Hi. Can anyone who used Endobariatrics Health Assist Financing tell me if you were approved or not approved? I have great credit, but my score has gone down a lot since I had to buy my daughter a car in my name, but she pays me for it. I also had to buy a new AC, but my husband pays me for that as well. I also have other debt from various credit cards which was fine until I had to add these two unexpected things. Do you know what credit score is their minimum or any info at all? I can't find anything on their website or Google reviews on them.

Thanks!

Melissa

Topic: RE: Dr Alvarez or Dr Francisco Gonzalez

Everyone raves about Dr. A because he and his Team are A #1 when it comes to vertical gastric sleeves! This Team is kind, knowledgeable, and much much more! You are ALWAYS Family to them. Any questions you have are answered fully. Dr. A continues to educate himself and also educates others about Bariatrics.....I'm sure you will enjoy them all from your first encounter, and on. Give them a call! They always have time for new friends as they do existing friends having WLS.........Good Luck!
