Nice to meet u but for me its between 2 doctors. Dr Marquez @ southwest and dr ganta @ austin bariatics. I did not like dr langoria @ seaton bariatics he was too cocky for me.

I'm in northeast Texas close to Longview or Texarkana. I'm two hours from Dallas or Shreveport LA. I have consulted with Dr George Merriman in Shreveport. I can't decide if I like him or not. Anyone use him?

So now I am scared I have had to 3 flare up's of pain all over my body but not my stomach. When this pain his i cant do anything not even hold my now 4 mth baby girl. My pcp is trying to rule things out cause she thinks it fibromyalga can't spell sorry. I sure hope not I had my blood taken I cant even count for this and for that and so nothing just that I might be pre diabetic.

So my question is Can I syill grt sleeve if I have fibro?

I have not told the sleeve doctors anything. I think need to know case and right now they don't need to know till I get my surgery date.

Can someone answer the question for me please.

Thank you all so much.

There are a few people on this forum with fibromyalgia and other autoimmune diseases that have been sleeved. It shouldn't prevent you from being sleeved.

I have Multiple Sclerosis I wondered if I could have the surgery. From what I was told I wouldn't have any problem & my neurologist would have to give me the ok. Talked to my Neuro & he thought it was a good idea for his patient & said there shouldn't be any issues. I have been DX for 2yrs. I'm current stable. I do have concerns that I will have a flare up after surgery, it's a risk with any surgery & a autoimmune disorder. There is the option of putting the fibro or whatever autoimmune disorder on the back burner (hush hush) until after surgery. DX these type disorders can take mths or yrs & u don't want ur surgery put off till then. Also don't rush the DX or fibro. DRs told me it basically means they don't know. There maybe another autoimmune disorder that hasn't fully shown itself. Sorry for the book! Lol!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
