So far with the rny there are no seriously swallowing issues. I know if I drink too fast it's uncomfortable. Or if I eat too fast I burp A LOT. I'm not even a full month out yet but I noticed I am a slow loser. And I hit my first stall at about 2 weeks that lasted about 8 days. After that I started losing again slow but steady. Since my highest weight I've lost about 20lbs.

Hi, are you looking for a surgeon, not quite understanding? If so, I went to Dr. Stowers In Denton, I think that about 4hrs or less south of where you are.......

Im 47, male. Just north of Dallas, in Prosper. I would try Dr. Stowers at My Bariactric Solution. I choose him because WLS is something he has been doing for a long time and thats all he does. Im 6 weeks out today, and I havent had any major complications and recovery is going well so far. As far has your swallowing problem, I would imagine that you pre and post diet may be more strict. Such as extended liquid phase, unless your condition is much more severe. I would give him a call.

I saw you said your losing slowly. But any loss is better then gaining. Wishing you guys all the luck with your weight losses.
