Why should you research your surgeon? This is why...

Mexico. Truth is he learned his trade from his partner. His partner is in Mexico. If it was already being done in Mexico how is he the "pioneer of lap surgery?" This same doc also claims 600 sleeves. Total crap, no way. He's 41 and he's the pioneer of lap surgery with 600 sleeves? He hasn't been in practice long enough to have done 600 sleeves. Those that have been in practice for 25 years don't have that many sleeves.

Believe nothing, believe nobody, research and verify everything.

Every doctor goes through a learning curve, it's how it is. Don't be part of someone's learning curve. Go to someone with experience.

I agree! EVERYONE should research the surgeon who is going to cut them open!

Do you know one time I was told, "My surgeon got through medical school and that is hard so he must be good!"

That was a Huacuz patient.

Just because someone got through medical school does not mean the doctor is good.

Research, verify. Believe nobody, believe nothing, verify everything.
