Grateful Heart - I sometimes forget that I was sleeved and just drink naturally (chug).. and then mid swallow realize.. OMG.. what am I doing??? lol I know that feeling you are talking of.

I also get it sometimes when I eat and forget to CHEW enough. I get a lot of flem in my throat and that makes it worse... A quick trip to the bathroom relieves the pain. :thumbup: lol There is simply too much air in a small area. I feel like a baby that needs to be burped.. and if its not a careful burp.. I'm losing it like a baby would. lol

KK - I was self pay and went to Mexico. I didn't have 10+ grand for my procedure so when I decided on my VSG, self paying was not an option. After I researched... I found an amazing doctor and got my sleeve for $5200 which was more doable. $5200 is WAY different than 10k, right? ;) After some debate with my husband... lol... I went to Mexico. My doctor was Dr. Almanza and he has great reviews on here. There is not ONE thing that worried me or that I disliked while I was there. My biggest concern while finding a doctor wasn't whether he was in a big fancy hospital... it was how many good reviews I could find from his patients... and I found the most positive reviews for Dr. Almanza. It was great, safe, and I got my sleeve for only $5200. Just an option you have.

I know how this feels because I can't seem to stop doing it. I am constantly forgetting and than I have this bubble that just sits at the top of my throat. It is very uncomfortable. I don't know why my brain can't get the hint everytime I take a pill. It's very frustrating

      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.
