Who Was Your Gastric Sleeve Surgeon



Recommended Posts

I had the band to sleeve revision by Dr. Bridget Holden in Colleyville, Texas. She was professional, straight forward and easy to ask questions. She removed the band and revised to a sleeve in an about an hour as outpatient. I was able to go home at 4 pm the same day. My recovery was incredibly easy after Day 1. I highly recommend her.

@@SandySwear im currently seeing Dietrick, he is amazing. Looking forward to getting my surgery date hopefully sometime in march.

My surgeon is Dr. John Dietrick of Tampa Florida. He is great - does mostly gastric bypass surgeries. So this is his stock and trade. Great program with multiple yr follow up for all his patients. Nutritionist on staff which is included in the fee. He is also capable of fixing other issues he may find - for me a hiatial hernia that I had suffered reflux from for years - now NO REFLUX! Surgery was at Florida Hospital Tampa - trained staff, caring and compassionate. Great experience. Would recommend him to anyone. OH by the way, I am a nurse - we know how to vet out surgeons! We only go with the best! Highly recommend him.

My surgeon is Dr Maleckas, had my surgery in Lithuania, at Nordbariatric clinic. I'd say overall it was a positive experience :)

I went to the Swedish Bariatric Center in Seattle. My surgeon was Dr. Brian Sung. They have ARNPs, Physicians Assistants, Dietitians & a psychologist. They, in my opinion are one of the most well oiled offices I have ever been to, from the front office to the aides, to the lab tech. I myself am a retired nurse who worked at a regional hospital and a specialty clinic, so I feel I can critique them. Highly recommended. Surgery went off without any problems.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
