Stretching out sleeve !

[kimkai75 59]

A bariatric surgeon from Kaiser South Bay told me the other day that the RnY is used less often these days. I believe that the surgeons that are comfortable using the RnY sometimes push it on their patients. As the surgeon told me' date=' the sleeve is # 1. I love his feedback..... [/quote']

Dr. Mun from Kaiser SB gave me the same info...

I just seen Dr Mun today and asked him specifically about stretching the sleeve and I loved how up front he was. He stated that a bougie above 40 might have more potential to stretch due to being a bit larger but will lose weight also. He explained that if the surgeon made the cut of the stomach in a straight line then there's less chance of the stomach stretching at all. When there's Patches and uneveness, then those parts of the stomach is more likely to stretch a bit, but the person will still lose weight if eating a healthy diet with 3 meals a day and not eating in between. This has made me so happy because I did have a andoscopy done and mine is very straight and a size 32 bougie.....So I believe that my stomach will not be stretching. I love to have straight answers......
