one more week

Hello

Teenuh was wondering why you choose the Sleeve vs RNY

I'm still trying to decide on one of the two

Thanks and good luck on Wednesday!!

just wondering if anyone knows what Dr Sharma does in weight wise  i know who he is and all but i didnt think he actually done surgery's anymore and i was told a friend of mine  has to see  Dr Sharma  they told him he was on the right track for surgery  but bascially  i figured he would see kwon or   modi   instead he sees Dr Sharma  anyone   know  why that would be the case perhaps ?

the big deciding factor for me was because we want to have children after WLS.  RNY has malabsorption as part of its weight loss process, during pregnancy this can cause issues if the baby or yourself isnt getting enough nutrients even with regular vitamins.
over time the weight loss recorded by both surgeries is roughly equal, so I chose the sleeve

Teenuh,

Hoping your surgery went well today...Can't wait to hear all about it. Welcome to the losers bench.

i agree i was in edmonton today   had thought about Teenuh  i  hope she got along wonderful and  congrats on your new beginning  Teenuh

how was your surgery?? Hope your feeling good :)

hi all
surgery went well overall...while they were in there they discovered my esophagus was twisted as well so they had concern about leaking at the connection of the esophagus and the stomach. My heart did some funny things post op and we have to keep an eye on that now, went really low and then really high all in the matter of a minute or 2

other than that i'm home now, sipping and trying some new things...applesauce and soup broth seem to be my faves so far...

baby steps!

that is so great to hear that your home now  im happy you got  home   been thinking of you ,  you now start your new life  i know you will do great   congrats on your progress ,   was there just you having surgery that day or did any other doctors do  there  surgerys  were you placed in a semi private with another  patient for weight wise ?

my friend from the WW clinic had her surgery with Dr Birch that day too, she was a floor below me.
not sure about Dr Karmali.
i was in a semi private room with one other person.
 

thank you its good to know  that  you  get to be in a semi  and not a private  i really dont want to be alone in a room actually  ...   but  gosh knows  how  much longer before i get a call  i was told usually  3 to 9 months from the class but  as i said i dont know how many surgerys  Dr Davey does   if he does them once a week or not  ,,,,,,,,,  hoping his office calls   soon
