I was reading a blog that someone posted to someone else. I was nodding along, reading and agreeing with everything that was mentioned... then I saw this:

Nude/Semi Nude Photos

Some doctors in the US and Mexico require pre op photos, some do not. Some require photos of you nude, some give paper undergarments to wear, some take pictures of you in your bra/underwear, and some take photos fully clothed. They don't typically tell you this until you arrive for surgery. You should probably ask if this is a requirement. If you choose to decline ask if they will decline to do your surgery..........

I have never heard of this for weight loss surgery! I know they tend to do it for b4/after plastic procedures but WLS??? Aceves doesn't do this does he? I am a VERY modest person. I can't even stand to have cleavage showing in public! This is something I absolutely WILL NOT DO! For ANY surgeon. Please tell me Aceves does not require this!!?? If he does I need to start looking for another surgeon!!

Not Dr Kelly either. I didn't read the blog in question, so I am not sure which drs do this. It would of been nice if the blogger would share the info, if it's true there shouldn't be a problem with giving a name. It should not be required for wls, and in my 7 yrs of research I have never read of any bariatric dr doing this. But plastic surgeons, yes, to be able to give an accurate estimate of the cost.

My surgeons nurse took before pics of me at my consultation, but i was in a t-shirt and capris... no nude stuff for this girl!

Dr Almanza didn't take pics either!! Must be another surgeon in Mexico!!
