Juan Carlos Fuentes
"Dr. Fuentes is very good at listening to what you want and explaining what he can do for you, and if what you want is fesible. He is very talented and very much ahead of other doctors in procedures. He was able to do my Lower Body Lift and did not do a vertical incision like other doctors had wanted to. I love my body and I will only use him for future plastics. UPDATE: I had my Breast Lift and Augmentation on May 31, 2007, and I love the results. Dr. Fuentes did a small bit of lipo on my upper abs, only 150cc's and also a little scar revision on my old LBL scar. I really really love my results! Dr Fuentes is soooo nice, and talented, and I will always go back to him no matter what for everything! I start nursing school June 18th, and next summer I will have my Thigh Lift with Butt Fat Injections/lift next year. I will also have an Arm Lift and Forehead Lift after my Thigh lift next year! I have no qualms about going to Mexico, and he is the best surgeon...the bonus is its cheaper. While price was first driving me to look outside of the USA, I have now found that they are THE TOP PLASTIC SURGERY CENTER IN MEXICO, and the price point is the bonus now! Please read my old posts on my main page about my experiences. I am happy to offer any info about my experiences in Mexico and with CosMed Clinic. www.CosMedClinic.com "

"UCI is a great hospital for the world renown doctors and the surgical floor I was on in 2007 was 100% better than the ortho floor I was on last year. Hopefully everyone will get to be in the surgical floor section, because those nurses really do care about you, and were very kind and considerate....it was definitely a whole different experience than last year. "

VistaVitamins
"My vitamins from day 1 post op. I started with chewables until month 3. Month 3 I moved to the capsules and it was much easier. I have always had GREAT labs and have never been told I was lacking in anything. I did however, get kidney stones, and cut back my vitamins to 1/2 serving per day, or 1 pkg instead of 2. It cut my calcium in 1/2 and my labs are still good, so no harm, no foul and great labs!! Best vitamins in my opinion on the market for WLS patients. Don't trust your health to cartoon characters...it always amazes me that people will go through this surgery and not put the best vitamins in their bodies that they can find!! ??? It drives me nuts that they then have problems, need extra this, extra that, and these are one capsule does it all....no need for extra pills!!"

"Pricey, but good for the $$ and hold your nose, pour over ice and drink!! Well worth it for the protein value, and tastes better than the gag, Vitamin Shoppe's brand."

T. Karl Byrne
"Very nice and caring. He was very upfront and honest, and because I had another stomach surgery that put me at high risk, he took a lot of time with me and gave me the names of other surgeons at Emory and VA Commonwealth to contact for their opinions as well. Those doctors also contacted me very quickly. I have been very pleased with his overall concern and approach. He wants his patients to be very well informed so they can make the right decision. We also attended the group meeting where he discussed the surgery itself and what to expect and aftercare, and he was extremely detailed and patient with the many questions this one lady kept asking. The rest of the room was ready to scream, but he kindly and patiently stood there and answered her barrage of questions. These questions are all answered in the group meeting once per month with the dieticians and nurses."
