Which Doctors Sew over the staples in Mexico?



Recommended Posts

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 :)

I'm pretty sure Dr Fernando Garcia does.

Dr Wilhelmy sutures over the staple line, I just had my surgery with him last week. He does 3 lines of staples plus the sutures. I had a revision from band ro sleeve which increased my chances of a leak. I passed all 3 leak tests.

Dr. Ariel Ortiz and Dr. Martinez at Obesity Control Center use 2-0 PDS to oversew the staple line.

Thank you all for your reply. I never thought any of these doctors mentioned do the sutures. I've read that Dr Louisiana V also does the sutures. Is this true?

I almost scheduled to go with Dr Almanza but after reading so much bad reviews about them, I have decided to go with someone else instead.

Kindle already mentioned it, but according to my surgical report, Ariel Ortiz sutured over my staple line.

Dr. Valenzuela is in the group with Dr. Lopez and Dr. Osuna, and from what I understand, they all do. Plus Dr. Lopez does the single incision if you're scar averse like me. ????

@@OCSlim how much are they charging for the gastric sleeve surgery done with the SIL? They are great doctors too from all that I've read about them. :)

From what I understand, Dr. Lopez is currently the only one performing the SILS, and to have it done at Hospital Vida is about $6,700. I think it's around $600, or so, less at Hospital MI Doctor.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
