Hi I apologize in advance if this topic has been discussed. I have my consultation at UIC in chicago tomorrow. Has anyone had a revision from a band to a sleeve with Dr. Masrur at UIC? If so what was your experience?

Hi Jennifer,

I had a consultation at UIC with Dr Pashand last month and I was planning to get the sleeve but he asked me if I am having acid reflux or heartburn. I do once or twice a week, so he said it's not a good idea to get the sleeve because it will make my acid reflux or heartburn worst. Gastric bypass is better choice.

I'm thinking about getting a second opinion.

Did you do any research Dr . Masrur?

i choose Dr. Masrur because he took over my care with my lap band once my orginal surgeon Dr. Elli left and moved to Florida...i finally had my consultation with him last week. I went in with literally 30 questions and he took his time and answered all of them.. i've heard both ways concerning acid reflux that it goes away with the sleeve or lessens of that it stays the same.so i guess it depends on the person.

Sounds like you did your homework. Thanks so much I just learned something, the next time I have a consultation I will have my list of questions too.

Best of luck with your journey.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
