I wasn't sure if taking something for reflux after sleeve would help. I would rather have the sleeve I think.

Ok. I have two small holes they said never closed when I was born. That is why I am on aspirin to prevent blood clots. I am 48 and just found this out like 7 yrs ago. I will just add it to my book of questions. Lol. Thank you all.

So I have just mailed my paperwork to the surgeon to get a first appointment. I was all for the sleeve and had got myself so excited to get the process going. Then I find the forum group regarding complications. Read those and saw where some sleevers had to get bypass. Then I read bypass forums and look into this surgery. Then I see where bypass patients look into reversals. I am 48 yrs old, 350 lbs and bmi around 60. I'm tired of being on 4 bp meds. Tried every diet out there. I get excited, then read some of these and scare myself. Even tho people have problems, are there any regrets in doing surgery?

Thanks for everyone's responses. I will just wait until I get my appointment and speak to the doctor. No second guessing myself!

Thanks. I know everyone is different and outcomes are different too. I have only had 1 surgery in my life and I'm scared. I just want to be healthy and be able to do things I am afraid to do and want to do. I get excited reading successful outcomes and then get scared reading things that people have had problems with. All just so confusing.

Anyone have any suggestions on surgeons in Lexington, Ky? I have been researching and looking into Dr Weiss.

Thank you so much!
