Thank you 'male teacher' for such a detailled account because while I always had a good feeling about them after doing a ton of research, there is probably comparably less info available about them than other doctors. Now I know exactly what to expect!

I'm having my sleeve done on or around March 4th, thats the tentative date, so it sounds like I may meet at least one person on this board! (cee cee :) )

Please as you have your experiences, please let us know as much as you can! I'm getting excited now.... :)

Ok so an update - Dr. Cabrera is wavering on approving my surgery. I have anemia (borderline) and there are a few issues, all minor, that I've had in other surgeries but I now have it all sorted and its good, I have had two surgeries (unrelated to this) that went textbook and i recovered great. BUT it has him concerned and he wants a doctors letter. Now also there was the suggestion that maybe I should think of Dr. Kelly who has more experience (and more $)

I am really asking for your help. Do you think Drs Cabrera and Louisana can handle a surgery that may be somewhat more challenging like dealing with scar tissue and adhesions ...how competent would you think they are? I'm wavering now. I really need guidance here. Thanks for sharing your experiences and I hope to see some on you in March. Wishing us all a safe experience. I'm open to all your advice!!

Sure will. It's very dark here arriving at 4 & checking in. No street lights like in most tourist areas. Casino is close but never walking there. Tucking into bed for 6:45 stroll to Mi Doctor. I'll be online to keep you posted.

Isn't the marriot so nice, I was sleeved 5 days ago and had a wonderful experience with them, I hope you have the same.

There is a blonde nurse with braces that I nicknamed nurse bossy, if you see her tell her the lady that named her nurse bossy said hi. She was so funny :)

I see her. I think Samantha is her name. She speaks better English than the rest..... I'll tell her for sure! I'm waiting my turn for surgery. I'm 2nd & that's it for today. It's kinda cold in room. No pillow or blanket are offered. But I requested it...

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
