Beeks got a reaction from Beth47 in Topamax- week one review
Topamax gave me the worst side effects, super intense heartburn and my hands and feet were tingling and going numb. It worked a little but the side effects were bad for me

Beeks got a reaction from "Henry" in Bariatric surgeon in Mexico?
Thank you Alex! Out of curiosity, why are there some Mexico surgeons listed on there and some aren't? Do they need to have had training in the US?

It's a YES or NO question. Are you denying a patient died?? This is about bringing transparency to an industry that needs some cleaning up.
Your own patient posted in this topic that they were in the hospital when your ALM patient passed away. I'm not sure how much more you're going to try to twist things and make them about me.

How about really being helpful, not being vaguely frightening and actually state:
1. What's the name of the hospital in Juarez?
2. what's the name of the surgeon? Names of any of this list of people who don't wash their hands?
3. What are your issues with your own hospital in Roseburg? That might be helpful for us to know what your standards are.
You are really just fear mongering otherwise. Inciting fright, while not allowing anyone to really solve anything because all we know is "Juarez".

I am only 6 days post op with Dr Illan and I feel great. Everything was very well done. The whole team is awesome! I wouldn't do anything different.

Beeks got a reaction from Alex Brecher in Bariatric surgeon in Mexico?
I'm currently interested in using Dr. Illan for my surgery, but it was pointed out to me that he is not listed on https://asmbs.org/patients/find-a-provider. Should I be concerned that he is not? I understand he is a weight loss surgeon and not a Bariatric surgeon, but when I look at his credentials it seems he has extensive training in Bariatric surgery, and I'm left confused. Any input is appreciated!

Beeks reacted to Roux-en-McClanahan in Who are you telling (pre-op)?
That's because everyone these days has a M.D. from Google and Very Strong Opinions[emoji769]. I'm only going to tell people I regularly eat or drink with because I will soon be unable to eat or drink that way.

The one thing you haven't denied or confirmed is whether the patient death in question happened or not.
I'm just an interested bystander, but when you started bringing up irrelevant things and ignoring that question, you became suspect.
I'm only asking again to give you the chance to respond with the clarity you claim to operate under.
After all, as you point out, patients do sometimes die on the table, especially very high BMI patients with multiple comorbidities. But even knowing this, you've continued to ignore the question.
Respectfully, doing that makes you come across as shady, which I assume you don't want.
