Honestly Alex I can't believe you would sit there and write such a comment. I was with BP when all this went down with Dr. A. No there hasn't been many complications, horror stories, nor fatalities by the hand of Dr. A. Dr. A has a huge amount of followers and patients. He is one of the best Dr.'s in the world. Keep spewing your hate and you will continue to loose support. And to be honest heart attacks happen. You go into surgery knowing that anything can happen and this didn't even happen during surgery it happened after surgery! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App

What I mean by one incident is that, that is all I have read or been able to find. Would you be able to put me in contact with patients that have had a bad experience? Or at least maybe show me a message by them or something? I'm not trying to cause trouble or anything, I honestly want to read or hear about these cases. Thanks again for your help!

Very interesting topic, Alex.
Prior to wls I was a big beer drinker.
Big as in BIIIIIGGGGGG. And big as in fire up the grill and kill a 12-pack of real beer in the process.
Post op....things have changed.
I no longer drink beer. I prefer higher grades of vodka or tequila blended with low or no calorie mixers.
For the most part I've found bartenders who accommodate. For those that don't....there are shooters.
I never drink & eat.....unless you count olives in the martinis. lol. As a result of no eating + only drinking liquor = I've found that I "get there" much quicker. I have learned to sip drinks at a "slower than beer" rate.
It's been a learning process........one that I truly wish my fellow BP folks would develop a plan prior to trying. Know yer limits ahead of time.
As far as the weight loss impact......I usually burn off my drinks on the treadmill ahead of time tha day. My version of "Pay it Forward".

The "after" picture was taken 12 days shy of my 2 year surgiversary. As of yesterday, I am 2 years, 7 months out. In the "before" pic, I was a size 20; in the "after" pic, I am in a size 4 dress!!! Love my sleeve!

3 1/2 years out and down 105lbs.

I'm 26(27 in February) I have two kids as well. Thinking I'm getting sleeved sometime this summer
