Bariatric journey Multiple procedures Preparing for surgery
  1.    Pammy_C reacted to a post in a topic: Revision from Sleeve to Loop DS
  2. Hello, my surgeon is dr Ayoola in Denton tx... I didn’t have to wait for insurance approval since I am disabled and on Medicare, pre-approval is not required. I am a diabetic and the sleeve did not help me at all, also regained half of what I lost. I am so excited but nervous as well! The sleeve was a breeze, so Hoping this is just as easy.

  5. So true!! I thought about that too, I would hate to have to be put under again!! Thanks for responding!!
  6. Excited but nervous! I will be having a revision from the sleeve to the Loop/SIPS. My surgeon will be removing my gall bladder, fixing my hernia and then doing the Loop DS. Has anyone had all 3 of these done together? It just seems like so much! Thanks! ?

  15. Awesome! How far out are you and how has weight loss been? Are you a revision? What city are u in? Did you have any co morbidities? Sorry for all the questions!
  16. Hello, I am in DFW Tx and have surgery date in April with Dr Alibhai and Matin, I am still trying to decide which surgery I should do! I will be a revision from the sleeve, I have type 2 diabetes that are out of control ( 4 insulin shots a day) can you please tell me if you regret whatever surgery you did or any issues?

  19. Looking for patients for feedback..I am a revision from sleeve and trying to decide between Loop and DS
  20. Looking for feedback! Trying to make a decision!

  22. I did this surgery to resolve my diabetes and that never happened. I chose the wrong surgery, my surgeon even advised me to do the DS or the Loop DS. Everyone is metabolically made up differently, and therefore the outcome of the surgery is different for each person. My A1C is now worse than it has ever been, so yes.. I regret having the sleeve.
  23. Hello, was yours a revision from a different surgery or was sips your first surgery ?
  24. Yes I totally regret it! I am 2 years out and regained all but 40 pounds. In the process of doing revision to the Loop DS. Should of done this in first place
