Hello,
I'm now 3 weeks post endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty, and I'm starting to have some second thoughts about having done it. I'm still having a lot of stomach pain/cramping and have not been able to transition from a liquid to a soft diet very easily. Still mostly all liquid. I have no follow-up with the GI Dr. who did the procedure. I never even had a consultation prior! And I just got the final bill from the hospital - all told I'm out $20,000 for this "basic" non invasive, 45 minute outpatient procedure. Ugh.
I wanted a way to re tighten my previous sleeve gastrectomy done in 2012. But the constant gastric discomfort is really troublesome. Not to mention the lack of follow-up care and support 😕
