    Gastric sleeve and heartburn

    . What a nightmare for you, what does your VSG surgeon have to say about this? I certainly hope that all turns out well for you. The very best of luck going forward.

    Gastric sleeve and heartburn

    FDClerical. Thanks so much for your answer. So sorry to read of recent sadness. The reflux issue seems to be a bit of a crap shoot as to whether you will be affected by it or not. A lot to think about. Good luck with your upper GI, I hope that you find a solution and some relief.

    Gastric sleeve and heartburn

    Would like to revise from band to sleeve but am concerned about this reflux issue. Even before having the band I had issues with acid reflux. I have it well under control now by taking omeprazol daily, but am concerned that with the sleeve the omeprazol won't be effective. Has anyone been ableto control their reflux succesfully by taking a ppi after VSG? Thnaks!
  5. Hi Bougie...how are you doing? Hope that all is going well for you. Early days I know, but are you happy so far? No regrets? Very best wishes.
  6. Thanks Bougie. I hope to be able toget this done within the next three months....fingers crossed! Will for sure use ALO Bariatrics with Dr.Lopez. Have a wonderful weekend!
  7. Hi Bougie! So happy to hear that all went well for you and that you had a greT experience. Your wonderfully detailed description of events has been all I needed to re-assure myself that Dr.Lopez is an excellent choice. Just one more question, if you don't mind; how many people were having surgery the same day as you? I'm quite familiar with the area where the hospital, hotel and spa are located as I have family who live in PV. Just beautiful. Thanks so much again for your update, would love to hear of your progress going forward. All the very best to you.
  8. Hi Bougie. Just a quick note to see how you are doing. Hope that all is well.
  9. Sending good and positive thoughts her way.
  10. Good luck for tomorrow Bougie! Am excited for you.
  11. Hi Bougie So interested to read your post. I am also hoping to have VSG in P V with Dr. Lopez. Am a failed lap-bander and have approx 50 pounds to lose. Wishing you all the best and would love to hear of your experience.

    Dr Lopez

    Good to hear that all went well. I'm sure that you'll be feeling a lot better soon. I am considering Dr.Lopez for my band to sleeve revision and it is reassuring to read good things about him. thanks for posting this and all best wishes for your frcovery and the new you.
  14. Is that Dr. alejandro lopez? If it is, I am also thinking very seriously about having a revision from band to sleeve with him, he seems like a very capable and experienced surgeon. When are you going? I would be really happy to receive any feed back from you. Good luck!
