David sent me an email that had a link to patient history form but it's not working, any one know where else I can find it ? I did email him about it but it's late and wanted to do it now while I have time.

If you google photos of "lap chole" you will see what I mean...this is the near exact place your sleeve scars will be with the exception of one extra larger one where they pull the stomach out. -

I was thinking of the same thing !! When I had my gall removed by lap , he allowed me my under wear but not my bra because on of the incisions is right in the lower bra line. Sorry meant "one of the" -

A patient died after surgery with Dr. Elias Ortiz at A Lighter Me!
chunkycharlie replied to SuninVirgo's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
Not to be rude but curious where you got your information about anesthesia raising the blood pressure? I have been an LPN for 11 years and now a RN,BSN....as far as I know anesthesia drops the blood pressure and sometimes too low. I could be wrong but that is why I'm asking. Even though I have been a nurse for many years , this is all new teratory for me and I am terribly nervous. -
The Truth about Weight Loss Agents...
chunkycharlie replied to anonymousfact's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
Wow this is very sad :-(....... There is a few post on here from a while back ....maybe 5/6 months ago about a few doctors that are doing bad business, it's things like this that make me want to reconsider. -
Lololololololoookokol I'm sooooo confused.

Why Getting Sleeved was the Biggest Mistake of My Life
chunkycharlie replied to a topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
This is where the education and seminars come in, I understood very clearly it is permanent, you MUST build muscle and exercise, hence "protein first" to help maintain muscle mass , and 4-6 Oz is not forever ......eventually you will be able to eat slightly more BUT if 3 years later 4-6 Oz is all you can fit at a time ?? That sounds great! It's kinda the point....smaller portions more often......your surgeon did a great job. And if you gained weight you went back to old habits and your sleeve can't be that small after all. -

They wave it at that BMI because you are considered to be an immediate risk. You have to think about the situation you're putting your self in and how serious your co morbidities are if you gain more weight.
