Looking for Los Angeles doc for revision
kah1213 posted a topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
I moved from New York to Los Angeles and looking for a new bariatric surgeon in Los Angeles area. Anyone have a strong recommendation? I had lap band in New York (2012) and recently had to have it removed, but I am looking to revise to sleeve once my stomach heals. Love my NY doc, but I want to meet with some local surgeons in LA instead of flying back to New York. Thanks all for the input! -
How’s everyone doing? Stalls? Progress? NSVs?

revise from Band to sleeve with a low BMI... Cash pay?
kah1213 replied to BayougirlMrsS's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
How’ve you been feeling? I’m 6 weeks post op revision as well. -
Almost 1 month out and I experienced the stall at Week 3 that everyone talks about. So glad I read about it here so I didn’t freak out...but it DID pass and scale is moving again ;)

kah1213 replied to BayougirlMrsS's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
My doc wouldn’t revise to sleeve after emergency band removal unless I gained back to 30 BMI which is so disheartening. Fortunately I was able to go to Mexico for the revision last month. -
What is sleeve plus?

I’m on the other side! VSG yesterday (after having band removed 11 months ago). Overall I’m feeling pretty good. I recall being in more pain (gas etc) after band surgery.

Mine is 11/29! -
Dizzy isn’t good. Are you keeping hydrated? Hope you’re doing better

Lap band revision to VSG

Checking in on this thread to see how everything is going? -
Your stats seem similar to mine. My band is out, gained, and now revising to sleeve in 2 weeks. How’ve you been feeling since the sleeve?

Hi. 👋 I’m 11/29 revision to sleeve.

I think yes cash pay. That’s what my situation is as I’m still considered low BMI despite significant weight gain after my band was removed. -
Revision with low BMI self-pay
kah1213 replied to _kimGA_'s topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
Even though I’m self pay revision, I’m still going through all the appointments like cardio, endocrinologist, Nutritionist, etc. Then I’ll schedule a date. -

My GI doc is at Cedars. I’m scheduled to see someone at UCLA next week to discuss revision. -
100% happens to me all the time! It’s a small price to pay :)

Did you have to share a room in the hospital?
kah1213 replied to jasmineinmymind's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I shared a room but the curtain was closed between us. I kept my headphones in most of the time to listen to music or watch videos. I think you’ll be ok! -
When did you really start to see results?
kah1213 replied to Bypassgirl92's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I saw small differences after each 10lb mark. Take pics to see your own progress. It helped me! -
Do you guys feel very full/uncomfortable after eating? Feel full quickly?
-
Did you have success with the band? Or taking it out due to complications?
-
I will be following your progress :) I think my revision will be in March tbd exact date. To be honest, I know I need to just relax, but I am terrified of gaining weight in between the removal and the revision.

I’m looking as well. I moved to LA from NY so I want to find a local doc. Who did you end up seeing?
