Are there any PRE-Op or POST-Op Sleevers getting or have it done at Hopkins? Which surgeon did you use or are you working with and how was your experience?

Oh great! Dr. Steele is my doctor, I am having mine down town at Hopkins though because I have to have a cystic mass taken out at the same time :-( I'm exited though. My surgery is scheduled for 10/23. How has your experience been so far?

Sorry I'm late responding. I'm in the 3rd month of the 6 months process & so far it has really been a learning experience for me. How is the process going for you?

It's been going well..I love them at Hopkins because they are so vigilant about surgery..I just found out today that Dr. Steele requires no preop diet only 24 hours before should I reduce my intake and of of course nothing after midnight the night before. Just can't pig out..have to not gain so I'm thinking I may just to be safe chill out starting Next week and do low to no carbs..I don't want any problems on Surgery day.

Oh wow no pre op diet.. I'm glad to hear that. Does Dr. Steele speak at the information session? I am scheduled to attend a session just waiting for them to send me confirmation of date & time.

I think they only deal with their own patients but I'm not sure. All of us that age spoke to were her patients.

I wouldn't mind doing a PG degree with Johns Hopkins, but I guess that's not relevant. I shall shut up now! :)

      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!!
