Just wanted to share a youtube video I made. It is long but it is jam packed with lots of good information regarding the pros and cons of the different weight loss surgery procedures. If your still researching and trying to figure out which bariatric procedure is best for you than this video should help. I cover all the details of why I feel that the Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy is the best choice and far superior to all the other procedures.

Heres the video link. http://tinyurl.com/ctmrt8g

Thanks for the extensive video!

I have a question for you which my RNY wife brought up. My doc tried to talk me into the bypass thinking I would not be able to lose the weight with a sleeve. He was wrong. He also said reflux was much more common with the sleeve. That has proven to be true. I had problems with heartburn before the operation and still do.

It seems my worst heartburn comes on an empty stomach. Eating something relieves it.

Any thoughts?

Im sorry to hear about your acid issues. I don't have any advice for you as I do not suffer from acid issues. Are you taking any prescription meds for the acid?

Excellent video very informative for nervous pre-oppers like me. Would you be so kind as to list the Vitamin supplements he for me so that I can get a supply. I'm also I relieved to hear I can still take anti inflammatory mess and steroids if I need to.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
