Having Revision. Tell me about Dr. Liza Pompa Please
on 2/9/17 2:22 pm
I am having a revision and I would like to know about Dr. Pompa. I went in weighing 195 during initial surgery. I lost down to 147 but my stomach has stetched according to the swallow test I had done I am back at 190. I would like to know about some experiences others have had with Dr. Pompa for either initial or revision surgery.
Thank You,

I read several things several years ago about her making hourglass sleeves. Ppl
were having her sleeves reversed to appropriate shape but haven't heard anything recently.
Why are you seeking revision? Is your sleeve malfunctioning? Do you no longer have restriction when you eat dense protein like chicken breast?

What is the revision? Sleeve to sleeve or sleeve to DS or something else? If it's a DS, I'd definitely ask DS patients for input/what surgeons to look for.
I follow a ketogenic diet post-op. I also have a diagnosis of binge eating disorder. Feel free to ask me about either!
