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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
