Do NOT go to Dr Huacuz

Thank you for sharing this with us.  My heart is breaking for you!  I hope and pray you can finally get the support you need.

Hi Larissa, I'm so sorry for your pain. Your blog is written very well and it tells a very sad story. I am thinking of you and I am wishing that all will turn out well.

Larissa this is just absolutely horrifying!!  How can the emergency room doctors to this to you??  Someone has got to help you get the care you need.  This is life or death and I just don't understand why they won't help you.  I am so sorry...I will pray for a miracle for you...I will pray that someone with money will hear about you and take care of it for you.  I wish I could because I would in a heartbeat.  Please keep us posted and we will pray!

While I am no Huacuz fan, there is quite a bit Larissa isn't offering to share. Not to do with surgery, but her actions after she got home.

This has been discussed in greater detail on the DS and R&R forums if anyone wants the rest of the information.

HE IS A WONDERFUL DOCTOR !!!! REALLY  !!!! Because I had a great surgery from him he has been my doctor since 2006 and have sent other people to him as well it has been great.. I have lost 100 lbs with no problem and just had my band removed and put a v sleeve in 7 days out 6 lbs loss .. every time you have surgery you risk problems.any where ..

 

I am sorry to hear that your surgery didn't go well.  I went to Dr Huacuz for my lap-band surgery in 07/09 and am very happy with the results.  I have lost 60 pounds and have not had any problems. I adhered to all instructions prior to and after surgery. 
I went for 1 fill to a local weight loss surgeon, and he complimented the skill of my surgeon.  A good friend of mine went to Dr H two years ago April for lap-band and she has lost 100 pounds and never had any problems.  She is the reason I went to him.  She went to him because her primary care physican recommended him to her; he had send his wife and mother to Dr. H.
The staff is wonderful, the clinic clean and for me at least, the surgery was a great success with no negative repercussions.  I often refer to him.
I realize all experiences and bodies are different.  I am not trying to negate your experience or your problems.  I realize DS is the most difficult of the surgeries and has the most complications.  I hope you find a way to rectify what is wrong.
