One night when I was reading I found a great post on the three leak test that should be performed after sleeving. I found out yesterday that my insurance will pay for the sleeve now I can't find the post on the leak test. Can anyone please help me find it?

I appreciate all help

Thanks

WASa had some good information about it in her researching Mexican surgeons thread here: http://verticalsleevetalk.com/vertical-sleeve-gastrectomy-vsg-surgeons-hospitals/66-researching-mexican-sleeve-surgeons.html#post390

Is this the one you are referring to?

CONGRATS on finding out that your insurance will pay for the surgery - that's wonderful!

nothing to be scared of. Dr. Aceves is an extremely good surgeon and he has done many of our surgeries. You will be in perfect hands if you choose him to be your surgeon.

If you choose a different surgeon, you're still picking the very best weight loss surgery available!

Thanks Vegas! I am thrilled and also a little scared

Oh I am sure - everyone goes through that stage - before and after surgery ... who is doing your surgery? Do you have to stay in the US since insurance is paying or will they pay out of the country? As Daisy said, Dr. Aceves is FANTASTIC!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
