Anyone using Dr. Jose Rodriguez in Mexico? My surgery in November 29 and I am hoping to

meet someone going around that time.

Thanks Niki. Hope you feel better from your surgery. Is the pain about the same

with gallbladder as sleeve? I have a friend who had surgery with Dr. Rod last

month, so I know somewhat what to expect. Thanks for taking the time to answer

me. Praying for your speedy recovery.

To be honest, I think the gallbladder is more painful then the sleeve. I really didnt have any pain after the sleeve. And i was up walking around right away. And never needed any kind of pain meds after i left the hospital.

With the gallbladder the incisions seem to be much more sore. And they ended up keeping me overnight for observation because i was in pain and my oxygen level kept dropping. Its fine now. Just needed to rest longer.

So, if you have had gallbladder surgery already, the sleeve will be nothing!

(Of course this is just my opinion)

      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?
