Hi. I'm 5'0". I'm awaiting my insurance approval, and most likely I'll have surgery in November. I'm curious if anyone had Dr. Marc Bessler do their surgery, from NY. I'm also wondering if anyone here is experiencing any acid reflux. I've read so much about how bad it can be. I'd also love to hear about your immediate post-op experiences. Were you in pain? How bad was the pain? Was it from gas or something else... I feel like a sponge. I want to get as much information as I possibly can. I'm full of anticipation, and yes, fear too. Thanks in advance for listening to my rambling... LOL
