I had my sleeve done two weeks ago before that two weeks of liquid diet . I have lost a total of 30 lbs. , twenty were on the liquid diet pre-op stage . You are probably looking at two weeks more liquid diet following surgery . I see my doctor for my first follow up tomorrow. Hopefully get moved to next phase of post op diet .

That’s who’s doing my procedure. Are you pleased?



Very much so. He took a lot of time answering my questions and never made me feel rushed. He was very patient. The procedure itself went well and no complications so far! I would definitely recommend him to anyone considering wls.

I'm in SW Arlington in the pre-surgical phase. Hoping for insurance approval in the next few weeks.

In process with Bagshahi - anyone know if they weigh you when you go do your Quest labs? I’m in such a precarious position where I cannot gain or lose in order for insurance to approve. It’s making me crazy! Lol

They did not weigh me at Quest. I could be wrong, but I think they submit the original weight from your first appointment. Dr. Bagshahi’s office is very familiar with insurance requirements and they will do what they can to help get it approved.

I’m in Fort Worth! Just had a RNY on Thursday 2/15!




Hey there! Just thought I would check to see how you’re feeling.

I’m doing okay. I’m struggling to get in my Protein everyday, but no major complaints. My biggest issue right now is the Vitamins. I hate the taste of them and they make me feel bad after I take them. My NUT told me to hold off another week before taking them. She said I could wait until week 2 to try again. What vitamins do you use?

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
