I just had my sleeve done on the 11/14.Dr Richard Bonnor was my dr and is amazing. He is very straight forward and to the point.

I might have hit a serious roadblock. Dr Mirza said he wouldn't do it due me having had several previous abdominal surgeries..I am devastated. I have savedo for this for years.

I have not had my surgery yet, but my surgeon is Dr. Matthew St. Laurent at Northwest Endo Surgical. I've been impressed with his staff and particularly with how much time Dr. St. Laurent is willing to spend with his patients.

Dr. Marvin has worked on me and both of my sisters. His bedside manner is professional yet caring. I had 4 abdominal surgeries prior to the sleeve and he did a terrific job. Minimal scaring and I was feeling better by week 2. I would definitely give Dr. Marvin a try.

Dr Erik Wilson. I just had my lap band removed yesterday after having it 10 years. He’s holding off doing the sleeve because my slip was so bad. Everyone at the surgery center raves about him. He’s efficient, smart and have a great bedside manner
He’s at 6700 west loop south suite 500

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

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

      2. LadyVeteran1

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
