When my doctor retired, I ended up seeing a PA at another bariatric clinic in Dallas just for this reason!
I'm curious as to what you decided to do, and if you went through with a revision, please tell me what it's like reflux wise. Did you lose weight or are you able to maintain? Recovery time etc. Thank you in advance!
Unscientific polls here on OH show that about 1 in a million people regret having surgery, but literally everyone regrets not having it sooner.
For me the only thing that matters is the surgeon performs like a rock star the day of surgery. No one else matters.
I was 100% sure with my surgeon.
I love that quote!! Thank you for sharing that. I needed to hear that. I am almost 2 weeks post op (RNY) and some days I still regret it. I know that will change, but to anyone who thinks this is the easy way is so so so wrong.
Hi guys. I had sleeve surgery on the 30th april - i feel like it was a waste of time and money. I am able to eat more then the avrage person and not throw up.
I havent lost weight for 3 weeks now. I am unsure what is going on.
I have lost 30kg in pre op fase as i was required to be 175kg before theyd do the surgery. I am now 168. So i havent lost much at all.
Did your surgeon provide guidance on what you should be eating. Not sure what you were expecting. but you're barely one month post op so to say the sleeve has failed might be a little premature.
Tell us what you're eating and we can provide some advice.

Getting on with "the team" is more important than getting on with the surgeon as you'll likely never see him after surgery, unless you have complications that require surgical intervention.

Credentials, recommendations, mortalities, and personal preference. I liked that my surgeon wanted to see me following surgery plus every year thereafter, we set goals, and she provided a binder of all my before and after care needs, phone numbers etc.
I have recently consulted with two different surgeons in hopes to have weight loss surgery. I am torn between the two surgeons and centers. I have a third consult scheduled now. How did you know if your surgeon and his or her team was right for you?
