Surgeon Testimonial

Barry Sanchez
I was referred to Dr. Sanchez by someone he studied with. He seems very knowledgeable and like he knows what's going on. He is caring but not coddling. He is making me lose 30 lbs before surgery. The office is very nice and even has bigger seats so you feel comfortable. They're in the same office as a bunch of vascular surgeons so it's not just for obesity wls. I don't like that I often get re-scheduled (it's a far drive for me) and I think scheduling is somewhat shoddy. They make me very frustrated and I don't always get a call back from my care coordinator.rnrnHe seems to know his stuff, goes over the risks and benefits and gives a very well-rounded picture.rn-----------------rnthe office has been very helpful to me with my insurance problems. Yvette has been wonderful and I'm finally approved so I should have a date soon!

    Tuesday is your day! Just remember you are on the journey of a lifetime. Try to enjoy every minute. It may sound weird now, but know that you are cared for and prayed for here, and all too soon this will be but a memory and you will be an inspiration to someone else. I am waiting for you on the losers' bench!

DVT
posted on 11/5/07 3:55 pm
About 2 weeks ago, I had a weird pain in my leg.  I knew something wasn't right.

So I go to the hospital, they scan me, and I've got this massive clot in my right leg.

I think my doctor is an idiot for taking me off blood thinners so fast after the filter was removed...but whatever.  I spent two days in the hospital (after they transferred me to one far away). and now I'll be on blood thinners forever.

right after they removed that filter, the clot formed...less than two weeks till I was in the hospital again.

I hate this situation.
