I was sleeved by Dr Alvarez in 2008 and had a Mini gastric Bypass from Dr Rutledge in Las Vegas last year. I have had terrible problems with gas , etc since my stomach is too big. Does anyone recommend a Dr for re sleeve? Dr R has not done any.

I'll always recommend my surgeon, Dr. Aceves. He does do revisions and has done a great deal of them. However, your particular case I'm not sure... Good luck!!

Have you talked to Dr.Alvarez about it? Perhaps he can give you some better insight since he did your original sleeve.

I just had mine March 15th with Dr.Kelly and am doing pretty good. Still some gas issues,but I expect those to pass in time(no pun intended! haha).

I would definately start with your original sleeve Dr. first and foremost if you have not already done so. From everything I've seen

about him, he looks to be one of the top experts in the sleeve field.

If you ever have any questions, feel free to ask and good luck!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
