Surgery was August 19th. Everything is great except I believe the surgery threw me into a fibromyalgia flare. That would have happened with any Dr. My biggest surgical problem has been learning to get all of my protein and fluid in. It's harder than you think. Lol

Thats awsome!! So happy it is going well for you! Very good Dr as well from what I saw.

I am going with Dr Illan this month after reviewing a lot of doctors this year. I know only the best surgeries are uploaded to youtube but his are beautiful. I say that as one who has been in an OR. I only say that to let you know the doctor you chose is good too. The main reason for the reply is that there are good bariatric surgeons who will follow you in the states. Make sure to do your research on the doctor, get all medical records in hand and a copy of the surgery film if possible. Dr Illan has flash drives for purchase I read somewhere, or bring your own. Call local doctors and inquire if they will do follow up. Things are changing. Best wishes. Family is just worried for you. Again research a lot.

Briswife15, I have been trying to decide yes. I would love the least invasive, but I think the reflux is going to prevent that. Now I also am reevaluating doctor, so that is a factor too.

I already have developed reflux in the past year. I am preop, actually thinking of August and Mexico. I have been researching surgery types and doctors. I have gained and lost so many times with the help of phentermine, and realized like most, that without it, I can not do it. I welcome any suggestions. My BMI initially suggests sleeve, but because of reflux, Dr suggested RNY. I thought I picked a DR, but am now questioning that decision. I guess I am where I started, just more knowledgeable. I welcome assistance! Tracy

Our stats are almost identical, and I have been thinking of a bypass due to reflux also. What made you decide on the surgeon you chose? Thanks, Tracy Lane

Biofreeze or other prescribed topical helps greatly with arthritis. The roller option is the least messy one to use.
