 I see that your surgeon was Dr. Acosta.  How did you like him?  Was just wondering what people have to say about their experiences at Del Sol.  I have my consult scheduled for later this month and am interested in other peoples experiences.  Any info would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks, Melissa

Actually, my surgeon was Dr. Lara (I can't figure out how to change it on OH!).  I went through Las Palmas, not Del Sol.  My experience has been great!  Initially, it was a little frustrating trying to get insurance approval, etc..  But, once that was done, everything after that was pretty easy.  I am over a year out and have seen Dr. Lara several times.  Luckily, I have had zero complications.  Right now, my D level is low, so working on that. 

There are quite a few people in our group that either had Acosta or Lara as their surgeon.  I encourage you to attend as everyone is very willing to share their experience.  Also, there are many new people and several that are 2 or more years out, so the range of experience is great!

Hope to see you there.  If you have any specific questions, feel free to PM me!

He is a cutie isn't he!  :o)

i just moved to New Mexico on Monday. Is there going to be a meeting this wednesday 05/19/2010?

I had Dr Acosta, he was wonderful.  The problem I had was the follow up.  I developed a blood sugar issue 9 months post op and after repeated calls and eventually a filed complaint with the administrator there, I gave up and have not returned for a follow up.  My local primary doctor (Dr. James Houle) takes good care of me.  The surgery was text book perfect though.  Hope this helps.

Absolutely!  Hope to see you there!

Is there a meeting tonight?
