Hey all! So, mandatory "I'm new" greetings to you all! *waves* I'm not very experienced with using forums, and I'm very early in the research phase. Sorry in advanced if I say/ask something silly >.<

Wasn't exactly sure where this goes, so I just plopped it here.

I am making a list of doctors I'm considering (while I am looking to doctors in Mexico, I figured it's a decent question regardless of location. Maybe?). My plan is to write out certain characteristics/stats/etc and then how different doctors compare in each category. If that makes sense...

To the question!

What would you consider to be the most important things to ask a doctor before you proceed with him/her? Things like: number of fatalities (if any), instances of infection/complications, bougie size, etc.

Research is a bit overwhelming, but I'm trying my best to at least say I made the best decision with what I have.

I like lists, graphs, and charts. :) And oxford commas.

Thanks!

If you show signs of severe acid reflux (Gerd), RNY gastric surgery may be a better option than sleeve surgery, because sleeve surgery tends to make this condition worse. Several individuals had to have their sleeves revised to gastric bypass after they showed began experience significant problems with Gerd after surgery.

In my case, I felt that if was going under the knife once I absolutely didn't want to go under a second time. Once is enough for 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.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
