Wow, the difference is awesome! Keep up the good work. I see you were sleeved by Dr. Rantis, I was sleeved by Dr. Guske (on 12/5) at the same office.

nice! how did you like dr guske? i loved dr rantis. i saw guske in the hospital. i didnt like that we never saw them after surgery. only the PA's. but oh well. something i never thought to ask when i originally saw the dr's. how are you feeling?

I LOVE Dr. Guske. Every time I was feeling anxious or scared, he was so comforting and I immediately felt better. Dr. Guske visited me in the hospital and I had been having trouble getting fluids in and started getting a little down about it but he came in and told me everything I was feeling was normal and to try warm liquids instead. It worked, I tried warm liquids and was able to get my fluids in. His bedside manner is awesome, I felt immediately better after seeing him. My first postop appointment I did see a PA but my next appointment is with Dr. Guske.

I feel wonderful, great, fantastic. I love my sleeve! Im 4 weeks post op in 2 days and on most regular foods now. Im just addicted to fish currently. Its so high in Protein and delicious. i dont like wasting my sleeve space for minimal Protein. i drink more liquids (usually Decaf tea) than I did prior to being sleeved. Discovered Fiber gummies because I had some Constipation issues a couple of times but not since taking the Fiber gummies.

yeah, he came in to see me after i failed my lead test. i think the nurses knew i was freaked out and he came in to calm my nerves. said that some people swell worse than others. i was one of those others and stayed in for 4 days until swelling went down.

glad you are dong great!

Whoa sorry to hear you failed your leak test :( 4 days sure seems like forever. I was in for 2 1/2 days and didnt think I could do one more overnight. Went in on Wednesday first thing and released Friday night.

It's okay. I had so much swelling in my sleeve that the contrast would not leave my esophagus. Had my surgery on a Monday left there Thursday night about 6pm. All seems ok now though ;-)

      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.
