Question:
Is there anyone out there who has had surgery with Dr. Higa w/in last six months?

Hi, I'm newly post op 1 week and I'm looking for support and information from patients who had surgery with Dr. Higa recently. I'm vomitting occasionally, worried about food intake amts and craving other stuff. Please share your experiences with me, it would help me so much! Thanks!    — Tabatha M. (posted on June 11, 2002)

Congratulations on beginning your exciting transformation! While I don't have personal experience, if you go to the find a doc page and scroll down, you will find many members that have used him-many of them recently. Included with their comments are links to their profiles and their e-mail addresses. Maybe you could e-mail them directly, instead of taking the chance that they will see your question? BTW-don't be afraid to call your surgeon with any and all questions. That's why he's paid the big bucks!! Happy healing! Here's his page http://www.obesityhelp.com/morbidobesity/mdcomments.phtml?N=k99 Shelley

I went to "Find A Doc" on this site and found Dr Higa has many reviews from patients in the last 6 months, you may want to look there Good Luck

I don't have personal knowledge of Dr. Higa. However, he has quite a reputation. Two of the three surgeons I consulted with in the Los Angeles area studied with him and preferred his surgical techniques over the Alvarado group. You should be in excellent hands and I would suggest calling him right away.
