Hello,
I was not the one that invented the Lapband procedure but one of the first doctors in Mexico to per for the procedure for treating obesity.
I also was the first doctor in doing a Gastric Sleeve in Mexico but also I did not invented the procedure.
I just left a letter to Dr Rodriguez on the page that talks about lapband surgery in Mexico. After I sent my letter…. it said awaiting moderation. I am not sure what this means. Do I need to redo my letter?
