I just had my sleeve done on the 11/14.Dr Richard Bonnor was my dr and is amazing. He is very straight forward and to the point.

I might have hit a serious roadblock. Dr Mirza said he wouldn't do it due me having had several previous abdominal surgeries..I am devastated. I have savedo for this for years.

I have not had my surgery yet, but my surgeon is Dr. Matthew St. Laurent at Northwest Endo Surgical. I've been impressed with his staff and particularly with how much time Dr. St. Laurent is willing to spend with his patients.

Dr. Marvin has worked on me and both of my sisters. His bedside manner is professional yet caring. I had 4 abdominal surgeries prior to the sleeve and he did a terrific job. Minimal scaring and I was feeling better by week 2. I would definitely give Dr. Marvin a try.

Dr Erik Wilson. I just had my lap band removed yesterday after having it 10 years. He’s holding off doing the sleeve because my slip was so bad. Everyone at the surgery center raves about him. He’s efficient, smart and have a great bedside manner
He’s at 6700 west loop south suite 500

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
