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 everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
