AmandaRaeLeo 2,146 Posted January 6, 2013 Hey there to all the previously sleeved... Would you be so kind as to touch base with us? When were you sleeved? Who sleeved you? How much success have you had? Any complications (sure hope not)? Would you do it again? Amanda Rae Ps: Remember, when you go on hiatus, we worry! 2 ProudGrammy and fletcherette reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm feeling successful ; I started at 276 and I'm down to 215. The weightloss has definitely slowed down and my sleeve tolerates anything. No complications, but I had way more swelling than most and could not even get the dye down for the swallow test. I would do it again in a heartbeat but only if I omar were still with Dr Kelly. My life is changed completely. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Any complications (sure hope not)? Would you do it again? Amanda Rae Ps: Remember' date=' when you go on hiatus, we worry![/quote'] I was sleeved 9/4/12 by Dr Thomas Borland. I've lost 61 lbs and quite a few jeans sizes (from 240 day of surgery to 179 today) the only 'complication' I had was that the stuff in my lungs after surgery made me cough which led to gagging and slight vomiting, it was a little scary because my surgery was outpatient (I was at the surgery center maybe 7 hours) but I got through it no problem. And I would DEFINITELY do it again, but like the previous poster said -- thank goodness I don't have to! Lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BackToBeautiful 95 Posted October 15, 2014 I called Dr Borland office and a lady at the front desk answered. She was kind of rude. I felt rushed off of the phone. She wasn't at all interested in my questions when I was trying to find out about the payment process when all I wanted to know is if he does payment plans until it is paid in full. Like within six months before scheduling for the gastric sleeve surgery. I'm sure he is a great Doctor but that receptionist was very impolite. Every time I try to email him. He replies back. Contact the office for more information with the phone number. So I've moved on and im still looking. I'm leaning towards Dr Alvarez in Piedras Negras Mexico or Dr Gabriel Rosales.
