I'm in the process of booking my sleeve to bypass revision with Dr Garcia. He did my sleeve in April 2, 2013. I hit my lowest weight at 157 and then gained back and now at 190 again. My only regret is that I didn't go with the RNY bypass the first time around. I have horrible gerd (common with the sleeve for some) and little restriction. Starting weight was 240 before sleeve surgery. Booking around Jan of Feb 2017. Reach out if anyone going to be there then!!

Hi,

 

I flew from Australia to Mexico and was sleeved 5 days ago by Dr Garcia. The process has been easy, I feel great!! I'm just not looking forward to a 13 hour flight home tomorrow :(

 

Please feel free to ask me any questions, I'm more than happy to answer any questions!!

I used Dr Garcia 3/2013. We were the first day of surgery at florence Oasis Hospital (I think they changed to a different one.) great experience 100%. But I'm going back for a revision to Mini Bypass, and Dr Garcia is a lot more than other surgeons. Anyone have any recommendations?

Do you mind me asking... why are you having a revision to a bypass? Did the sleeve not work for you?

Yes, it worked initially, I'm 3 1/2 years out and got down to 142 and stayed there until about a year ago. It was amazing!! I've since gained back almost 35 pounds and having terrible GERD. I have a history of esophageal strictures with dilations, and the sleeve has made it much worse. I got approved for the mini bypass as few days ago. BMI of 29 with comorbidities.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
