Anyone have Dr. Mayotorena ? I'm sure I spelled it wrong but please post if you had him. Thanks in advance.

You guys what happened to sunshine ?

Curious to know , are your doctor's US or Mexico ?

By the way as mentioned aboved, I was wearing the underwear they gave me which are pretty darn comfortable :-)

David sent me an email that had a link to patient history form but it's not working, any one know where else I can find it ? I did email him about it but it's late and wanted to do it now while I have time.

@@sunshine72 , everyone in these groups are pretty supportive and seem to look out for eachother, so please take heed and do the research and please come back and let us know you're safe :-)

If you google photos of "lap chole" you will see what I mean...this is the near exact place your sleeve scars will be with the exception of one extra larger one where they pull the stomach out.

I was thinking of the same thing !! When I had my gall removed by lap , he allowed me my under wear but not my bra because on of the incisions is right in the lower bra line. Sorry meant "one of the"

The link to check if a surgeon is bariatric certified is all in spanish.....I want to see a certificate for bariatric ' s on all the surgeons that are affiliates of bariatric pal, is that possible ?

I don't have any money to share but I shared it on my face book page.

Not to be rude but curious where you got your information about anesthesia raising the blood pressure? I have been an LPN for 11 years and now a RN,BSN....as far as I know anesthesia drops the blood pressure and sometimes too low. I could be wrong but that is why I'm asking. Even though I have been a nurse for many years , this is all new teratory for me and I am terribly nervous.

Wow this is very sad :-(....... There is a few post on here from a while back ....maybe 5/6 months ago about a few doctors that are doing bad business, it's things like this that make me want to reconsider.

Lololololololoookokol I'm sooooo confused.

This is where the education and seminars come in, I understood very clearly it is permanent, you MUST build muscle and exercise, hence "protein first" to help maintain muscle mass , and 4-6 Oz is not forever ......eventually you will be able to eat slightly more BUT if 3 years later 4-6 Oz is all you can fit at a time ?? That sounds great! It's kinda the point....smaller portions more often......your surgeon did a great job. And if you gained weight you went back to old habits and your sleeve can't be that small after all.

They wave it at that BMI because you are considered to be an immediate risk. You have to think about the situation you're putting your self in and how serious your co morbidities are if you gain more weight.
