Hi my name is Angie. I got my sleeve 3/24/09. I am interested in swapping info about my experiences. I have lost 38 lbs. I am having problems keeping food and liquids down due to acid reflux and the sleeve being to narrow. My Dr. is considering putting in a stint to open it up some. Anyway look forward to hearing from you. :confused1:

does anyone here take prevacid or zantac. my dr. has me on both. and i am not getting any relief. i asked him to change my meds and he just added the zantac. wants to do a stint.:confused1:

I am a 34 yr female that just had a stomach stapling replaced with a VSG, after having problems with the stapling. I am still having problems with the VSG and most likely going to have a stint put in to stretch the opening. I have lost 40 lbs in 10 wks. I only needed to loose 60 lbs to start with. I am also having alot of Hair loss. Over all I am happy I made the change. :thumbup1: My surgeon is Dr Vadim Sherman from Baylor College of Medicine @ St Lukes Hospital. He is wonderful. Has a great bedside manor, his team visits you frequently in the hospital and they all take the time to listen to you needs and concerns. I have never felt rushed. Although he is young, do not let that intimdate you. I have Multiple Sclerosis and searched 40 something Dr.s till I found him. He is willing to do surgery on high risk patients.
