    Default Calling a Dr!!!!!!What's going on in there????

    I'm wondering what happens to your stomach after surgery! does the stomach grow back together? Does the staple line grow back together? What happens to the staples???? Is an upper GI recommended later down the road? Just questions.....

    For anyone that is interested Dr. Alvarez does a question of the week and answers a lot of these questions that we may not be sure about. I believe that you can find links to them on Bariatric Surgery Mexico - Weight Loss Surgeon Mexico
