I am getting sleeved on November 3, and have been concerned about the pain after the surgery. The doctor made it sound like it just feels like you've done situps, but I figured it was more than that. What kind of meds have you used and what has worked?

I actually decided on Dr. Braverman at the New Program and I see that you sent through the same company. What has your experience been with them?

I met with Dr Braverman at the New Clinic today after they checked with my insurance to see what the coverage was. I was so impressed with this company. They answered all of my questions, and I am so excited about starting on my new life. The surgery date was set today, and they were able to take care of most of my tests while I was there. Has anyone had experience with Dr Braverman? Would appreciate all feedback.

I am in Santa Barbara, and looking for doctors, hopefully ones who will take my Blue Cross PPO. Has anyone used any of the following? Dr Milton Owens, Dr Jeremy Korman, Dr Kai Nishi, Dr Michael Feiz, or Dr Criangle? Appreciate any feedback or other suggestions.

What is a DS?

I am in Santa Barbara, and have no idea how to pick a doctor for a Vertical Sleeve. I am willing to travel, but it seems most surgeons have done mostly Roux n Y or Lapbands. Can anyone recommend a surgeon who has already been through the procedure? I am worried about picking someone with not enough experience.
