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...

I hope you are feeling better and best of luck with your revision. I am not sure what SAD1-S or Ds means though.... I may have to look into a revision of some sort also if I cannot get this weight off. Prayers all goes well.
Hello to everyone that responded to my post. Its' been a long (almost) a year since I made that post. I have been in the hospital with Pnuemonia and then found out while I was there I had a mild dose of Covid19. HOW IN THE HELL DO YOU GET A "MILD" DOSE OF COVID19!!!? That still confuses the hell out of me but hey...I guess it is what it is. I was on O2 for almost 6 months after I got out of the hospital so that didn't help the weight issue any either. How the hell do you stay healthy when all this crap is going on? Any thoughts?? I'm out of ideas...
That being said, I have decided to have a revision of my sleeve. On September 3, I will have a SADI-S or the DS surgery to get back on track. 40 pounds and I'll be right back at my pre-surgery weight from 2011!! OH HELL NO!!! That is not happening. I'll be more visible on this site now that this is happening and I'm going to stay on! Wish me luck and if you need me outside this site, you all can email me at [email protected].
Love you all!
