How long did it take for the swelling to go down before you could fit into a smaller size?

Topic: Sleeve with Dr. Regan of Milwaukee?
Has anyone had Dr. Regan as their surgeoun for a Sleeve Gastrectomy?
I am thinking about going to him but I am concerned because he has only done about 15 VSG. He does seem to have a lot of experience with RNY though... I'm not sure how different these 2 surgerys are in terms of the technical aspects.... If he's good at RNY would he be good at VSG or are these totally different?
Any feedback would be appreciated!

Topic: Overeaters Anonymous?
Anyone in the Eau Claire area know about overeating support groups? I noticed that most of my eating happens when noone is around, done fast and in large quantities. Sounds like other addictions. Can anyone steer me in the right direction to address this issue please?
Topic: RE: Re-do of failed RNY?
I didn't know you could redo the RNY? I have very good pvt insurance.. They did pay for a revision that my husband had done.. I don't know about BadgerCare.. Call them and ask.. worst case scenario they say no.. Good luck!
Topic: Re-do of failed RNY?
Anyone know if BadgerCare will approve a re-do of failed RNY? 9 yrs out and regained all but 52 lbs. _yes, my fault for not following rules.
Topic: RE: Pannniculectomy tomarrow
I think I had the drains in for a week ..They are a pain! The only problems I had were ..My back hurt really bad for like over a month I couldn't stand up straight so that's why my back hurt and I couldn't hardly eat anything.. When people like us have TT the swelling pushes up against our pouch making it very difficult to get food in.. This is what Besty told me and reassured me several times that Dr Georgen did not do anything to my pouch..Because I really thought he did.. I was probably only getting in 400 to 600 calories a day if that for over a month..I had to force myself to eat and eat all day long..per Besty.. It passed eventually .. I still get the funny sound in my tummy ever since the RNY.

He said the quarter thing about mine also, to funny. My weight is up right now but I think its the fluids and swelling. I had to call in today because I have so much gas in my stomach and cant get it out just keeps girggling, very uncomfortable. He said it was from the anethesia, but I shouldnt force it, maybe take a light laxative, also my inner thighs are black and blue. I think I over did it yesterday because I felt good so walked and went grocery shopping, today Im paying for it, slept all afternoon. Oh and I itch everywhere, my face, eyelids, my nose feels like its full of fuzzys, he said that also is from the anethesia. I see him on wednesday and will hopefully get at least one drain out. I tried looking at your profile but cant get into it, and would email you if you give me your address, its nice to talk to you, someone thats been there with the same doctor. Thanks for all your support, Deb
