Topic: RE: DR Liza Maria Pompa Gonzalez
Wow...It seems to me that you and WASabubblebutt have alot in common...hmmmm........I just keep wondering how many people are actual patients on these websites. How can I find unbiased information on Mexcian surgeons?
Well, obviously Wasa and I have a great deal in common since it is COMMON knowledge we are one in the same. My ID on LBT is Wasa and my ID here is MWG. Any idiot knows that. Considering my profile is absolutely identical to Wasa... it's not hard to figure out. Surely even YOU could figure out the same??
It is also common knowledge that Pompa's sleeves are big enough to feed a heifer. I suppose you did not know that either?
Dumbass.

Dr. Pompa was just Inamed certified in December, nowhere near long enough to get experienced. I know she did one band and it took her three hours to place. That procedure should take about 30 minutes. There was no hernia involved, just placing the band. That is concerning to me.
I would do a search for the following terms here on OH and on www.lapbandtalk.com:
Betancourt
Huacuz (used to work for Betancourt)
Molding Clinic (used to be where Betancourt worked)
You'll find a wealth of information there.
Be very careful, don't believe what coordinators tell you, they lie all the time. Well, obviously Wasa and I have a great deal in common since it is COMMON knowledge we are one in the same.

Topic: Having trouble getting an appt after approval?
Well I was approved for surgery on Apr 2, 2009 and I did all of the labs and now I am waiting for an appointment. Originally I was told once everything is done I will be able to have an appointment in about 2 weeks but now It has been 1 week and no one at the surgeons office can give me information. They seem to not really care. They are not very helpful at all. I was wondering what others experiences were for Dr Lara office is El paso.

Topic: RE: Moving to Holloman soon....
Ms Understood,
I know all to well about traveling to get cut. I am on Sunday boarding the train in Lamy to Los Angeles for my surgery on Wednesday (4/8/09) of next week. The train seemed to be the least painful way to get there and back, considering I will be needing to get up and walk every so often. I found that the band and RNY were out of the question for me because of my size, but I could do the RNY though it would not be as effective as getting the DS. I cant wait.

Dr Clapp at Providence is the bomb. I absolutly love this doctor, I had my surgery in Tucson, but my daughter had her Lap Band with Dr. Clapp and he is he best!!!!
Topic: RE: Moving to Holloman soon....
Thanks :-)
Yeah I've talked with a few people in that area who have traveled to El Paso for their WLS. I'll have to see a Dr regularly for fills, since I'm getting the lap band. I think I'll be getting banded before we PCS.
Looks like your WLS has done ya well :-)
