I am two day post op and very pleased with the care and my surgery. My doctors were Lopez and wife Osuna. They are just awesome. I will be back for a Tummy Tuck and boobs in a couple of years. I went through Ready4Achange for scheduling Good luck to all.

Did my band to sleeve one surgery. I was told that if my stomach wasn't good I would have to come back for the sleeve , but all was well.

Everything is top notch in PV. Relax it is an awesome place for surgery. I had surgery 8/15/12 with Lopez and Osuna great experience.

I used Lopez and he uses a real hospital. Please research.

Counting down the days. Pro op diet starts on Friday.

I was just sleeved by the Dr. Lopez & Dr. Osuna on July 23, 2012. They were very caring and sensitive to my needs as were the nurses at the hospital. They visited me every night while in the hospital to make sure I was doing okay. Once released from the hospital, they both made visits to the hotel to make sure I was comfortable and not in any kind of pain. I would definitely recommend them both.

Hi to all Revision people!
Just wondering how many of you had to do a barium swallow and endoscopy before/during their VSG revision?
Thanks,
Dottie

*****UPDATE****** feb 2nd, 2012
i now have a leak & a stent was placed in. feeling horrible!!! the below post is the least of my worries now!
im going crazy..
i was sleeved dec 20th. everything was ok until maybe a week after coming home from the hospital. i realized that i was extremely exhausted and always felt faint. it didnt really start hitting me hard until last week. everyone keeps telling me that it will get better but it feels like its getting worse! i keep trying to "stay positive" but how much more of this can i take? i want to feel normal again!!!!
i noticed that when i walk, im like dragging my feet. im so weak and faint. almost like my thighs might just give out.
i also have excessive gas which i think is making me really nauseous. the burps are just crazy. i cant eat or sip without burping.. then it wont stop until i take some gas x chewables. i live off those chewables.
as far as shakes, i cant tolerate them. ive tried so many different ones & i throw them up. they absolutely repulse me!
i do eat but i have to be "in the mood" to eat whatever is in front of me or i will just throw it up. my stomach is extremely weak! i cant even tolerate Soups. they turn my stomach too.
i called my surgeon & told him how im feeling & he told me im dehydrated. told me to get on gatorade for a week & see how i feel then. im going in thursday morning to see the nurse practioner.
the gas & the gatorade mixed is making me very nauseous.
i take 20mg of prilosec in the morning, 2- Multivitamins & 1- B12.
im so so so so so so tired of this! i truly regret surgery. i never thought id feel like this but i do.
