First Meeting with Dr. Castro

Hubby and I met with the man that will hopefully help me with my band problems and get me into a sleeve.

Dr. Castro was very informed as to the causes that many of us "old timer" bandsters face as far as Esophageal Pain and stretching. I was surprised at the amount of time he spent making sure we were informed and understood my options. Dr. Castro agrees with me that the Sleeve would be the best choice for me because of IBS and he mentioned the fact that scar tissue would make RNY/Gastric Bypass difficult to "connect" and that when my band was functioning correctly I did very well loosing 140lbs purly on a restrictive surgery. He is going to submit to insurance again and is willing to talk to the insurance on a peer to peer basis, which is more than Dr. Felts was willing to do!!!
