VSG to MGB Apr 11, 2018 with Dr Illan

I’m scheduled for my revision surgery with Dr Illan in Tijuana on Apr 11, 2018.

Any suggestions or revision experiences would be helpful please.

Did anyone use an abdominal binder?

I made alot of mistakes the first go round with the sleeve, lessons learned. Grateful for a 2nd chance.

I'm going for revision surgery from sleeve to mini bypass next week with dr illan. how is the new hospital is it nice?

It is very clean and the staff go out of their way to make sure you have everything you need and are kept comfortable. I think my only complaint would be in the mornings the city/county....whatever it's called there, they open some valves underground to flush the sewage and the smell comes up through the drains everywhere, not just the hospital but all businesses and homes. However, Antonio is always on top of it by running water and spraying Lysol everywhere. I didn't notice it in the hotel though but that's probably because I was up a couple floors. ?? For the low cost though, it's definitely worth a bit of funky smell in the morning for a couple days. ? Oh, and the hospital rooms have netflix so I was like right at home. LOL

Yeah I remember last time I watched Frazier the whole time.. I love Antonio in so happy he's still there!!!!!!

That's great. Hope you lose heaps. I can tolerate all foods now. Do you know how many feet was bypassed? I had 10ft.

How did your surgery go? Are happy with the results? Did you experience any complications? Would you recommended dr Illian?
I will be going for VSG to MGB on June 15 with Dr Illan. I'm glad to hear yours is going so well. I had really bad reflux before my VSG but immediately after, it went away, I suppose I was one of the lucky ones in that regard, I hope it does not return. I am curious about the salads...I have tried every kind of lettuce there is, even shredded, and every time it causes severe pain and I throw it right back up. Did you not have this issue with the VSG or is it something that you can now handle since the revision? I would LOVE to be able to eat salads again.
How did your surgery go? Any side effects? Would you recommend Dr
Illian?
