Dr. Sasse in Reno, Nevada

[heftynetty 0]

Hello, I was just wondering if anyone has had a revision surgery from Band to Sleeve with Dr. Sasse? I think he is a great surgeon but I am awaiting for the office to build a case for me and then if it is approved he wants me to do the Sleeve. Once that is determined I am going to talk to him about how many he has done and what his leak rate is. But for now I am just curious if anyone on here has had an experience with him, I am very anxious and stressed about this surgery. I am wondering if I should just have my band removed and not have a revision. It seems like on this forum the only GOOD doctor is in Mexico and that is just not an option for me financially. Any thoughts or experiences would be much appreciated!

I do not know anything about your doctor but if you check out my sig it will give you suggestions on how to research Dr. Sasse. It will give you ideas for researching any sleeve surgeon.

Your chances for maintaining without WLS are not great, stats show that very few people can maintain weight loss after losing their band. If you can get insurance to pay for a revision I say go for it.
