September 6th (or around that date) sleevers



Recommended Posts

Hi; I am getting my sleeve surgery done on sep 6th with Dr Allan Cribbins. I would love to hear some experiences and have some fellow sleevers who are going through similar experience around the same day, particularly with Dr Cribbins. If you had had a surgery with Dr Cribbins in the past, would love to hear your experience.

I have liked the guy, he seems very laid back and casual and takes time to answer the questions. I had a list of 20 or 25 questions and took almost 25 minutes in my last appointment. He was very patient and never rushed any response-including the hard questions I asked of him. He seemed like a guy who probably sleeps and lives in his surgeon outfit (or whatchma call it) 24/7.

As they say, prepare for the worst and hope for the best, for the first time in my life regardless of my years of struggle with morbid obesity, I have felt that I am mentally prepared to tackle the surgery and manage the demands and yes face any issues. Mentally ready to fight the good fight.

If you are having surgery around the same time, let us share experiences and pray for me.

At Plano Presbyterian??? I have seen Stephen Hamn, I have my psych eval this Thursday and then praying for a quick approval from BC/BS.

      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.
