I'm from South Fl and had surgery scheduled with Dr Webb until I was told he doesn't do the DS. I just had a disctectomy do my surgery is off for another 2 months.

Welcome, research and just focus on you.

Dr. Webb recommend DS to me. When did you see him? I really hope he doesn't change it to a sleeve. Maybe he has someone else assisting him. I'm having a problem now with clearance from a pulmonary doctor. I hap a sleep study done two months ago and it wasn't a pulmonary doctor. Now Dr. Webb want me to find one that will clear me. This isn't good because I'm going to spend more money and he might make me do the sleep study all over again. This is so annoying

Patience. I saw him early last year and thought him super sweet. At a BMI of over 50, he told me to stay home and have a sleeve. Yea right!. I since then have met surgeons who've actually done a ds. I think he has less than 10 so far.

Hello, I just finished up all my requirements and it's been about 4 days since the dr office sent paperwork to insurance. I'm so anxious, does anyone know how long it really takes to schedule you for surgery after approval comes back?

I met Dr. Webb. Good luck, let us know how it goes. Remember to get a copy of your op report.

I met a man a couple of weeks ago at one of the monthly discussion groups and he said Dr. Webb did a DS on him and so far he has lost 170 lbs. when I go for my pre op on the 23rd I will make sure all my paper work is right and I'm having the procedure that I wanted. I will keep you up to date with my progress.

      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.
