Which Doctors Sew over the staples in Mexico?



Recommended Posts

Do you know of any doctors in Mexico who sews over the staples on the stomach to help prevent leakage? I'm trying to narrow it down and start the payment process but I'm scared to hurry and choose without finding this out first. Thank you :)

I'm pretty sure Dr Fernando Garcia does.

Dr Wilhelmy sutures over the staple line, I just had my surgery with him last week. He does 3 lines of staples plus the sutures. I had a revision from band ro sleeve which increased my chances of a leak. I passed all 3 leak tests.

Dr. Ariel Ortiz and Dr. Martinez at Obesity Control Center use 2-0 PDS to oversew the staple line.

Thank you all for your reply. I never thought any of these doctors mentioned do the sutures. I've read that Dr Louisiana V also does the sutures. Is this true?

I almost scheduled to go with Dr Almanza but after reading so much bad reviews about them, I have decided to go with someone else instead.

Kindle already mentioned it, but according to my surgical report, Ariel Ortiz sutured over my staple line.

Dr. Valenzuela is in the group with Dr. Lopez and Dr. Osuna, and from what I understand, they all do. Plus Dr. Lopez does the single incision if you're scar averse like me. ????

@@OCSlim how much are they charging for the gastric sleeve surgery done with the SIL? They are great doctors too from all that I've read about them. :)

From what I understand, Dr. Lopez is currently the only one performing the SILS, and to have it done at Hospital Vida is about $6,700. I think it's around $600, or so, less at Hospital MI Doctor.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
