I was sleeved by Dr Alvarez in 2008 and had a Mini gastric Bypass from Dr Rutledge in Las Vegas last year. I have had terrible problems with gas , etc since my stomach is too big. Does anyone recommend a Dr for re sleeve? Dr R has not done any.

I'll always recommend my surgeon, Dr. Aceves. He does do revisions and has done a great deal of them. However, your particular case I'm not sure... Good luck!!

Have you talked to Dr.Alvarez about it? Perhaps he can give you some better insight since he did your original sleeve.

I just had mine March 15th with Dr.Kelly and am doing pretty good. Still some gas issues,but I expect those to pass in time(no pun intended! haha).

I would definately start with your original sleeve Dr. first and foremost if you have not already done so. From everything I've seen

about him, he looks to be one of the top experts in the sleeve field.

If you ever have any questions, feel free to ask and good luck!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
