All doctors.

[Susan 2.0 278]

Not all doctors do. Mine only staples.

[mokee 588]

Some staple and glue.

If you're talking about the stomach itself, mine only staples. If you're talking about the incisions, mine sutures inside and glues outside.

_{Dr. Aceves in Mexico was my doctor, and he puts in 3 rows of staples in the stomach and sutures the stomach as well. It must work well - he has a very, very low rate of leaks, if any at all (I don't know of any).}

Yes, I meant the actual stomach. I should have been more specific. Thanks for replies.

To those who answered with "mine doesn't" etc, can you tell me who your dr is please? I'm looking into either dr Ponce or dr. Garcia at this point, do any of them do both? I really woudl like the added step.

I will be with dr Garcia next month and I am almost 100% certain he does the staples and then sutures over that. I spoke with alma his coordinator. She also said he uses titanium staples (the standard).

I don't think you could go wrong with him! Good luck in your decision

Oh, good to know! I'm going to be giving alma call soon, myself. Does she have a fb page like some do, or a website?. There re so many more people going w Garcia now, than a few months ago when I was on the boards. (Rock on)
