A little about me I'm 5'9 245lbs. I'm on the lower end of the bm..predicate with elevated liver enzymes. I've been struggling with my weight my ENTIRE life. My first diet i was about 11. How sad. Anyhow I'm having surgery with Dr. Elias Ortiz through A Lighter me June 22nd. I am curious to know Dr. Ortiz staple technique. Does he use a 3 row stapler? Does he double enfore staples with sutures. I've asked my coordinator Janese these things but it would be nice to hear it first hand from a patient of his. Thanks in advance.
