Hi OC Sleevers! I'm hoping to get sleeved by Dr. Iqbal in January. Just waiting for approval from insurance. How was your experience with him, the surgery center, and hospital?

Well, glad to hear you liked it - that is great news!

Did you have to have a drain? It seems like some surgeons use them and some don't.

Also, did you get your leak test during surgery or while you were in recovery?

(Hope you don't mind all the questions.. I'm excited and nervous.)

No leak test I was not allowed any liquids till the next day. I had no drains either they did take blood tests every 6 hours and breathing treatments every 6 hours and a wonderful Pain pump for the whole day. I was at 7 am done by 10 then just layed there and kept pushing the button. The second day they take the pump away and gave me Norco for the pain that I took for few weeks. I could of stopped sooner but it was nice to not have any pain at all with them.

      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.
