Topic: Does anyone have experience with Dr. Lopez's wife, Dr. Jacqueline Osuna?

I live near Guadalajara and am considering having the VGS procedure done with Dr. Osuna, a bariatric surgeon who also happens to be Dr. Lopez's wife.  I can't find any first-hand references or comments about her.  Does anyone have experience with her as their VGS surgeon? Thanks!

Topic: RE: DR KELLY.... DRAIN

I EMAILED HEATH, DR. KELLYS PATIENT COORDINATOR AND HIS EXACT WORDS WERE:

 

DR. KELLY DOES THE SLEEVE DIFFERENTLY THAN MOST SURGEONS. HE SEWS OVER THE ENTIRE STAPLE LINE AND SEWS YOUR FAT INTO THE STAPLE LINE ON THE UPPER PORTION OF THE SLEEVE. IT ACTS LIKE A CUSHION AND PROTECTION FOR THE SLEEVE.HE ALSO SAYS THAT THE DRAIN AND THE DYE THAT IT COMMONLY USED IS NOT 100% ACCURATE FOR DETECTING LEAKS.

I second that!

I'm 15 days post-op, feeling amazing, and down 20 lbs. 

All of the staff at Mexicali Bariatrics and Almater Hospital were incredibly kind, informative, and professional.
