Which Doctors Sew over the staples in Mexico?



Recommended Posts

Dr. Rodriguez sutures over staples. I was very happy with him.

Do these doctors suture along the entire staple line, or mainly just in the junctures?

OCC does a "double buttress" oversewing technique along the entire staple line.

JamieLogical, did you go with Dr Jamie Ponce De, Leon? I was supposed to get mines done this past may 2015 but I got a really bad feeling about it and decided to back out. So I am still wanting to get the gastric sleeve surgery this year but it is hard to pick the right surgeon when there are so many of them....confusedddddd!

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

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      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! 😞
