Getting that second opinion about the Sleeve

[mswisdom 42]

I posted my concerns about my doctor not wanting to do the sleeve do to reflux (I don't even get heartburn). Well I called another surgeon and I'm waiting for a call back so he can fit me it. The lady said she may get me in by Wednesday.

I always got in touch with my scheduler and told her that I'm not sure about the bypass. She looked in my folder and said that the test showed that I have moderate to severe reflux....what! If that's the case wouldn't I have some idea about it? She said that Dr. Salzberg will be in the office tomorrow and she'll talk to her about it. They may send me to a G.I. doctor to run more test..."They May!?".... really? Like if they don't I just have to deal with that? I didn't get upset, shoot my six month PCP visits isn't over til Oct. So I have time to make other plans if need be.

I'm just glad for the feedback from this site.

I get heartburn all the time, constantly, daily and my Dr had no issue whatsoever with giving me the sleeve. In fact he told he he recommended it.

Sounds to me like your surgeon isnt comfortable with sleeving folks and you have every right to be weary. You absolutly should get a second opinion.
