My surgery was supposed to be Aug. 30. Postponed due to covid and hospital not doing elective surgeries. Just found out today and I was about to start preop diet. So disappointed and discouraged.
Congratulations an your anniversary! I, too, had mine 13 years ago. I'm sorry to hear about all of your complications, but I hope that things are smoother now!
This is the guy in your area for the work you want done. He has a ton of experience working with WLS patients and does beautiful work.
If you want facial work, there is someone who is better, IMO. He does body work, too, but I can't vouch for it. However, given what I know about him and his value for aesthetic, I would absolutely consider him. I would use no one else for facial work than Dr. Eberlin. His attention to detail and facial structure is unparalleled. I would bet he is the same when it comes to body work.
Hi, I am considering plastic surgery, can anyone recommend a plastic surgeon in concord or Walnut Creek (California)?
If you are going days without food or water because you cannot hold anything down, and they cannot find a cause, then you may need to be on a feeding tube and get IV hydration. This could be done with home nursing assistance.

Hi - Those are revision surgeries to a Gastric Sleeve or in conjunction to the Sleeve surgery. I have been doing so much research on which would be better (SADI-S or DS (Duodenal Switch), I was looking for some guidance on the pros and cons. I think I have all the information I need but my final talk will be with my surgeon the day before/day of surgery to decide which would be best for me.
Wish me luck...
