Before & After There are currently no before and after photos for this member. See these instructions if you wish to submit your own Before & After photos. Surgeon Testimonial Hilario Juarez M.D. Today (5/25/01) was the first day I "met" Dr. Juarez at one of his group workshops at St. Luke's. He had a great sense of humor, was a little softspoken. I like that he was educated in the Western US (undergrad at Wyoming, grad school at Colorado, residency in Arizona) so he understands our lifestyle and the pressure put on obese people by standards in our communities. My first one-on-one meeting with him is 6/05/01 so I'm looking forward to asking many more questions. So far I haven't really dealt with his office staff yet.. I just faxed requests this week for medical history. I'll give an update -- don't worry, I'm very opinionated. :) 6/5/01 - had a consult with Dr. Juarez's P.A., his name is Emil. He's cute, and he said I'm a great candidate for laparoscopic gastric bypass.. which is good, because that's the only type I want to have. I don't want open, I don't want the big scar. All of my medical records have been received by the office too. Now I just have to wait until my new isurance kicks in on 7/1/01 before they will even consider applying for approval. I'll move my insurance saga to the insurance page, but just want to state here that Jackie at Dr. J's office, who deals with insurance, is fantastic! I've seen other comments that disagree, but I received nothing but excellent service and prompt follow up to every one of my calls. What a sweetheart! Latest Surgery Support Comments
