East Texas Sleeve



Recommended Posts

So glad I found this app. I had my sleeve done in April 2013. I have lost 85 pounds And this is the best thing I've ever done for myself. Two weeks after surgery I was inner tubing with my grandchildren. I've had no major problems at this time except for Constipation. I'm working out now and feeling good. At 53 life is good again.

CONGRATULATIONS! I only hope I can report such numbers after my surgery.

It's been awhile since I was last here. I've now lost 130 lbs. I'm feeling great and loving the fact I have to buy new clothes Evey two months. Hang in there everyone it's awesome.

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
