Recommended Posts

Well I was suppose to be sleeved aug 19th. As I was lying there waiting to go for surgery, the surgeon, tells me he thinks I should not have the vertical sleeve done because of my servere hiatal hernia repair I had done last year. He suggests a Rny bypass . I was so lnto the sleeve being done, ive done my homework on this sight and I really thought the sleeve was the way I should go. But I guess he knows best but now I have to have that new procedure re submitted to my insurance company which took 2 mos before..ugh so discouraged.

Oh no.. that would be so disappointing. I would have thought he would have seen that issue before it was submitted to the insurance. Hopefully the approval will be quicker this time around.

I was supposed to be sleeved 6-25 and it got postponed like hours beforehand...I finally had it done on 7-30..you will get there..don't be discouraged ..hang in there, everything happens for a reason and he probably knows best. Turn that frown upside down chick :)

I know I wish he would of looked into my file sooner..In the beginning I wanted the bypass and he suggested the sleeve, he must not of realized how bad my hernia was. 1/3 of my stomach was up in my esophagus causing me severe pain..Now I have to research the complete bypass and check out the forums for gastric bypass stories! ugh

You may want to get a second opinion on the sleeve. Also, if you decide to go ahead with bypass, consider not going to the same surgeon. He doesn't seem to have paid enough attention to your case as you went through the process.

You need another doctor. You also need to recover any costs associated with him not reading your file. Such as pre-surgery prep, visits, anything you will have repeat, pay again, do again. This is malpractice. He by admittance did not review your case enough to matter until the day he was going to cut on you. You are in a meat-mill, in my opinion. You are having your stomach tampered with in either situation. RnY leads to excessive mal-absorption issues, but makes him alot more money.

You should also rate this doctor and put your experiences in detail here, and tag his name.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
