Hello! Welcome!!
I am also in the journey to find a surgeon and recovery house. I had a consult with Dr almanzar and I must say that I felt that he was smart, diligent and his bio speaks very highly of him, but I don't like the fact that he operates from CIPLA...few people have die there( it wasn't his patient) and it was recently closed for some violation. If you want to get more information on recovery houses , ask the dr which house they recommend. Here is a link that can help:

He sure did . CIPLA is not such a good place.... But CECILIP is another story. The Clinic is very beautiful ,clean and modern. Friendly people. however some staff have limited English which made communication hard.But there are doctors 24/7 they are fluent in English.You're gonna be just fine

Sorry, I apologize if I scared you with my mistake , I didn't meant that. Sorry . I actually want dr. Almanzar as my surgeon because of his terrific consult that I had with good him. I think he is a excellent surgeon worthy of my body, however my friend told me about this place closed last February for a death and some violations- of course she wasn't his patient but I am scare. I wish you the best!!

Girl the place that was closed last february was CECIP wich is another clinic... Not CECILIP that i believe has never been close and nobody has died there.I think that you and your friend are very confuse because the names are similar.

I agree I have heard this before prior to my wls surgery to stay away from over the counter supplements due to it can be harmful to you by going under anesthesia. I have known quite a few girls that are taking Adipex or another type of diet pill to lose weight before surgery, which is dangerous.
