Another follow up with Dr. Atlas tomorrow

Hi all,

I have another follow up appointment with Dr. Atlas in the morning. I have to bring him the CD from my x-rays to see if I have an ulcear or if my stomach stretched out.
I have heartburn every time I eat now. And I find I'm eating way too much also. And not lost much weight since 4 - 5 months.

I'm really nervous to find out what he has to say. I'm worried I have an ulcear and worried he might say I need to have the bypass now.

I'll let you know how it goes.

Good luck Cindy. Please do keep us informed!

Think positve Cindy. Things will go fine.

Hi Cindy,

Hope all goes well but it's best that he sees what's going on. Once you know it can be taken care of and you can continue on your journey.

Good luck and keep us posted!
Hugs,

Good luck Cindy.  Doris QC.

Hi everyone,

Thanks for your encouragement. :)

Martine's office moved in Sacre-Coeur. It's in the basement now at Medecine D'un Jour. Confusing to find !

Well after seeing Dr. Atlas, I don't have an ulcear, but my sleeve is too big. He's not sure why but most likely they left it a little big to begin with. So I have to be re-sleeved.  He prefers this to doing a biliopancreatic derivation. That way he can still do deriviation later on if needed. (better not be needed)

I have lost 56.6% of excess weight which is on target but he would like to see me loose more so after being re-sleeved he said it will be really a tight sleeve.

I'm glad there's something that can be done, but I'm nervous about having it re-done too. The first time went really well. So I hope the second one will too.

Hi Cindy,
That's great news! Having the DS done has worked for others but IMO, having the sleeve done a second time might work out better. However, I'm still intrigued on how such a small stomach could stretch so much? I know he may have left it a little bigger but you would think that it wouldn't stretch that much especially a year and a half after ??? Anyways, do they have you slated for another surgery now? Do you have to go through the process again? Please let us know how it goes...
