Congratulations and welcome to VST! You will find it very helpful and uplifting to be here. I was sleeved Dec. 6, 2012 and I am still a newbie here but I have gained some knowledge and found comfort from the people here. I live in a small town where there is no access to support groups so this is my support. It has been very helpful. Good luck on your journey and remember, don't get discouraged - get busy and enjoy life!

I was going to use dr Almanza because I friend of mine did but I was turned off by the recovery house and strip mall clinic. What was your experience with those? How many surgeries did he do on your day?

What I can I say I had a very good experience there is nothing to worry about it is a very small clinic but very clean I really liked the way they took care of me.. That day dr almanza did ten surgeries ... By the way I was the first one. I really recommend it...

      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.
