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

Thank you ladies

Dr. Hidalgo sews over the staples as well... I paid $4500 in Puerto Vallarta, it was a great experience... His office is weight loss team and he does not use any brokers. www.weightlossteam.com

He charges $5400 for the SIL and your bmi must be between 30-39

Thank you @ I'm going to check out the website now.

Thank you @@kgard1916

I just talked to my coordinator with A lighter Me. She said Dr. E. Ortiz, suctures over the staples and glues. They conduct three leak tests before you leave the hospital.

Thank you for that info @@Ronab

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

Dr. Quinones sutures over the entire staple line.

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