Feeling vindicated!



Recommended Posts

I had the sleeve 2 years ago and only lost 25lbs after changing my eating, hiring a trainer, Water, & giving it my all. Since I was having the acid reflux I went to a new surgeon and asked him about a revision. He did the egd (barium swallow ). He told me today my sleeve was extra wide and could understand why I never felt restriction because I didn't have any.

I feel like I got screwed but I also feel like I am vindicated.

Was your surgery performed by a surgeon here in the US? What recourse do you have? Did your ins cover this surgery. Can they require a redo? Is the new surgeon just trying to drum up new business? How do you know who to trust? Dr 1 or dr 2?
