Best wishes @Iscarleys, keep us updated

I'm scheduled for March 14th with Dr. Weiner at Huron Valley Sinai. I wish everyone the best and speedy recovery!

That's good to hear the pain will get better.....

Exactly....

No that's the first time I've heard that My surgery is the 16th of March and I'm only required to do an EKG and my family has a history of cardiac problems however I don't so I think you should speak with your surgeons office about the stress test

My surgeon recommended having milk of magnesia in hand at all times post-op.

My ass was the first thing to volunteer as tribute. I didn't have a big butt before but at least I had something. Now I look like an ironing board from the back.
But it's all good because I am no longer morbidly obese. I am just going to buy those underwear with the butt built in and go on with my life lol

I'm scheduled for March 1st. Good luck to you and congrats.

Congrats mines too

Irene revised due to uncontrolled reflux. I can't recall her screen name, it has diva and Irene in it - she is a great resource.

Good luck, remember it's your journey to a healthier you.....

I think you can still do it but you MUST have the will power not to stray from your pre-op diet..... If you can't do this then your will fail once you've been sleeved....

I find it so interesting that so many people say sleeve is less invasive. It's what I thought too and ended up doing RNY because of acid reflux and because I never wanted to have to go through a 2nd surgery converting to bypass like some have to do. With the sleeve, they remove 85% of your stomach from your body. They can't put that back! I'm not sure how that is less invasive. Don't get me wrong, there are a lot of people who have great success with the sleeve, but please don't just do that because you consider it less invasive. It took me time to come around to agreeing to RNY but I sure am glad I did in the end. RNY is the gold standard with many many years of results and reseach. There are a lot of threads on here about the exact same topic. You will see lots of differing opinions. In the end it is a decision only you and your surgeon can make but don't be afraid of RNY. Once you research it more, you will see it is nothing to be feared.

Me either.. That's exactly what I've been doing. I'm running to the doctor very frequently

That's exactly what I did.

Hi, Chelsea I wish my nutritionist had told me that I have the sleeve and my reflux is extremely bad since I've been sleeved. So make sure you ponder on which procedure you want because now I'm in the process of trying to have a revision done from the sleeve to the bypass. I wish I had been informed...

I sure hope so I'm miserable and my surgeon is a real Asshole to say the least. I've explored the option of trying to find a new surgeon to see if he can help me

That's great.

Wow, I'm so glad I found this thread it has really encouraged me to go forth with a revision from sleeve to bypass. I was sleeved May 2014 and has only lost about 30lbs in 14 months. Like most of you since having the sleeve I have the worst reflux ever I didn't know people suffered like this. I'm always in pain I can't eat with pain, burning and the vomiting. I'm in pure misery.

@@ShrinkingPeach I actually found a new surgeon that actual seem to care. @@Babbs o sure hope it solves my problem

Congrats on your revision, please let me know how it goes. I hope all goes well for you.

@@ShrinkingPeach my surgeon said I didn't comply with the my diet even though I've never missed an appointment with him and I contacted his office as soon as I started having issues and told me that it was a waist of time and I could never get back on track. And it really worked my nerve but he's always been a jackass. But I've been busting my butt in the gym at the park workout and sticking to my diet even though it gets hard to do sometimes.
