I have acid reflux since sleeve surgery in 2012 did the MGB take care of the reflux and if so is it still under control? I am looking to have the revision in Mexico I see you used Dr. Illan was it a good experience and is he someone you would recommend. I really don't know who to use for sure in Mexico I really want to get off PPI meds and have no more acid reflux. Thanks for your time. Peggy

I am looking to have a revision from sleeve to MGB one due to acid reflux and not a very good loss with the sleeve. I was really disappointed in the WL but now really just want to get rid of acid reflux and get off the PPI. Also I will have to go to Mexico for the surgery anyone recommend a doctor in Mexico and did the surgery help your acid reflex?

I was sleeved on August 14 th but I had a revision from band to sleeve.

I have 1 and 1/2 weeks of the mushy then on to the normal diet. Have not had any problems with this stage so far in fact it is nice to eat something instead of protein drinks and soups.

Hi everyone I am 58 years old and had my band to sleeve revision on August 14 th and it really has been a breeze.. I found nautral calm plus calcium by natural vitality works great and really fast for constipation. www.naturalvitality.com. I was watching a utube video and can't remember who suggested it, but they said they picked it up from Sprouts farmers market but I'd you don't have one go online and see where else they sale it it really works and fast.. Hope this helps!

Lil Lo I would have used Dr Alvarez and Susan his patient advocate told me the same thing. if insurance would not have covered but I got approved. I will keep you in prayer for one procedure. Who did your band? Keep me informed how you do

Mynameisnatalee hope your surgery went well yesterday just remember everyday gets better and walk, walk ,walk it really does help.. Keep us posted on your recovery

Then it should for sure be a breeze I am excited for you..

JammyDancer so far I am already glad I had the revision and will just get better everyday. Make sure to follow the pre-op diet exactly to a t you will be glad you did in the long run. Good luck and you will love your sleeve I know I do already. I will hold you up in prayer on your big day let me know when that is.

Alliecat1095 is spent lots of time in prayer asking God to take care of the scar tissue and he did I am so amazed..be sure to follow the pre-op diet to a T and you will do great. How long have you had your band? After surgery keep walking it helps the gas and makes you stronger everyday. you will do great what is the date of your surgery? I will hold you up in prayer for the same success.

Alliecat1095 iam feeling pretty good for just having surgery. The worst pain is the gas but I have been doing lots of walking it really helps.

Hi everyone I did great with my surgery. It only took 1.5 hours for the whole procedure no problems with scar tissue after having my band 10 years to God be the glory.

Gingersnap I don't have small children at home but I do have 3 grandchildren and 2 of them are small and when they come to visit love to have nanny hold them in my lap and of course at the same time jealous that nanny might give more lovin to 1 and not the other what a joy they all are. I am so glad to hear even with your hard time you would still do the surgery again. So glad to be getting back on the losers bench again.
