I’m having the same indecisiveness for my surgery. My bari dr said a lot of patients regain the weight after 3-5 yrs and was not very positive. And there were no long term studies done on sleevers 10+ years. I also take ibuprofen 3 days a month during my period which he said I could not do, then he said some patients of his have cancelled the surgery because of the ibuprofen issue.
I saw Dr Scott Um with Kaiser. I’m also concerned about scarring and loose skin. I wish Kaiser did the one incision method for the sleeve, seems excessive to do 5 cuts. The everyday vitamins seems hard too.
