What do you think of having Gastric Bypass Surgery in Cancun, Mexico?
Safety first
Oct 25, 2013
The country where you get the procedure done should not be your number one priority. The factors to be taken into consideration are safety first. The gastric bypass is minimally invasive, but still it does have some risks, so you should research the percentage of complications that the doctor has. Another point to take into consideration is the success of the patients. Do these patients re-gain weight after time goes by? As for the hospital where the procedure will be done you should…

Frightened to Take my Normal Medication 4 Days After Gastric Bypass Need Help?
Medication
Oct 7, 2013
You can take the pills one at a time since you dont want to push yourself to the limit, but it is important to follow doctors orders word for word so you can achieve ultimate weight loss.
Is It Ok for Me to Have Surgery on my Achilles and Have a Gastric Sleeve 18 to 21 Days Later?
Depends on anesthesia
Sep 30, 2013
If you are getting local anesthesia for your achilles then it shouldn´t be a problem to have your procedure done, but if you will be put under general anestesia then my recomendation would be to wait longer to get the procedure done.
Are There Multiple Techniques Approved for Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy?
Strachan Technique to Gastric Sleeve
Sep 30, 2013
Our technique starts with a thorough and systematic dissection of the esophageal hiatus and gastric fundus. The sleeve is created by resecting the greater curvature of the stomach. This is followed by reinforcement of the staple line with a running suture. The weight loss obtained comes from the strict dissection of the stomach reducing its capacity for intake. The results for weight loss with the VSG are about 100-150 lbs., if you need to lose 200lbs. I would suggest getting a gastric…
How Rough is the Pain from the Gastric Sleeve?
Quick recovery
Sep 26, 2013
Patients that have had this procedure done have told me that the first 12 hours after surgery they feel pain either on their back, shoulders or in their chest, as time progresses they no longer feel pain and just discomfort or soreness. Since the sleeve gastrectomy is performed laporscopically it is minimally invasive which typically has you discharged from the hospital the next day. I have patients back in my office 5 days post-op. Recovery is quick and patients are back to their daily…
I Have Chrons Disease, is the Gastric Sleeve Alright to Have with This?
Chron´s disease is NOT a contraindication
Sep 26, 2013
Chron´s affects the small intestine and sometimes the large intestine as well. If the patient is morbidly obese there is no contraindication in having a sleeve gastrectomy.

Translation provided by doctor:

La enfermedad de Chrons afecta el intestino delgado y a veces al grueso. No es contraindicación absoluta realizar un manga gástrica si el paciente es obeso mórbido.
