You may want to do more research about this DR. Several people have posted about health issues after having surgery with him It is your money and your body but at least read everything you can about him, don't just look at the cost of his surgeries. Look at complications and complaints about him.

This gal said he has stopped returning her calls and she is in trouble, that alone should make you want to do further research on him.

My doctor who did my surgery had talked about helping others who had moves to his area from other states. Maybe you could call a doctor close to you who performs the sleeve. They may be able to give you advice over the phone.

They can't give advice in a case like this and without seeing the patient. This person should make an appt with a sleeve doc and if you can't get in tomorrow go to the ER. This is nothing to screw around with. You could have a stricture or a leak. I almost died of a leak. Don't wait.

GO TO THE ER ... fix what I bet is a stricture. Then get a lawyer.

I just want to chime in with the same - get yourself to a doctor immediately. I think the ER is a very good idea.
