Which Doctors Sew over the staples in Mexico?



Recommended Posts

Dr. Rodriguez sutures over staples. I was very happy with him.

Do these doctors suture along the entire staple line, or mainly just in the junctures?

OCC does a "double buttress" oversewing technique along the entire staple line.

Dr. Jaime Ramos Kelly sews over the entire staple line! Love him. I'm in Hospital Angeles now, I had my surgery 1-13. He is even sending me home with a video of the procedure and all my paperwork, x Rays, and swallow test for my physician at home.

I specifically asked Katy, with A Lighter Me, and yes Dr Elias Ortiz does do both staples with suture oversew.

JamieLogical, did you go with Dr Jamie Ponce De, Leon? I was supposed to get mines done this past may 2015 but I got a really bad feeling about it and decided to back out. So I am still wanting to get the gastric sleeve surgery this year but it is hard to pick the right surgeon when there are so many of them....confusedddddd!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
