Anyone go to Dr. Bertha for the sleeve?

I'm scheduled for my sleeve with Dr. Bertha on August 5th. I'm just curious to hear how other people's sleeve surgeries went with him so I know what to expect. How long were stage 1 and stage 2 for you?

    He did my band back in 2008, I'm scheduled for the sleeve this month. I think he is great!

    I for some reason have never gotten any notifications on this topic ever until the last one today! I'm sorry!

    I'm almost 3 years out from my sleeve surgery and it was the best decision I've ever made in my life. I can't say enough great things about Dr. Bertha and his entire staff is amazing! You are in great hands with him! I have found from friends going to other surgeons as well that Dr. Berthas phases of eating after the surgery is one of the best and most successfully layed out. Just follow the packets they give you to a T and listen to them and you will be successful in your weight loss journey! Best of luck to you!
