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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
