@BeautifulSunshine0211 In 2 days it will be a month since I had the surgery. As soon as my insurance approved it , they called me abt a week after and I picked my date. Today I will be going into my soft food stage and I'm already nervous 😓 introducing foods again has its ups and downs but I'm excited to eat some salmon 😅. I've lost 22lb total since my surgery, slow and steady wins the race.

Which clinic

I love the idea of this surgery my problem is that I have horrible acid reflux problems.

I had gastric bypass in Nov 2019,a few months before the pandemic. I am not skinny, but I am what might be called “normal “. I am convinced that I would have been very sick during the pandemic if I didn’t have the surgery

My bariatric surgeon called me yesterday and I got approved. I’m excited now it’s 10 weeks of class. I won’t be getting the sleeve I’m getting the bypass my mine wasn’t set right of 90% of my stomach being taken out. I think that is just too much trauma on the mind❤❤

Have my surgery in 3 weeks time.

I almost died three years ago. Got a fever, infection, leaking and lots of blood loss. I had to have a second surgery with the surgeon opening my abdomen and look for the leak. He then put a feeding tube into my regular stomach. Which he never removed my stomach from out of my body. 2 pints of blood transfusion It was gastric bypass. I spend 35 days in the ICU. Orlando. Dr.Beltree. It’s been three years I still suffer of stomach pain when I eat. I eat heathy and slow. I saw pray before you decide. I was supposed to get the gastric sleeve. After six months he decided he was going to do the gastric bypass.

Where does the surgery take place… I’d like to look into having it done..

I just got mines on the 8th of January this year... getting used to eating less food was the hard part. Other than that I'm down 50lbs...

Dou you guys do leak test and how many?

Well I got my surgery done Nov 8,2023 and today is Nov 13, 2023. I was discharged Nov 10, 2023 and was hospitalized Nov 12, 2023 for dehydration. I have to drink liquid 1 ounce every 15 minutes, but get full so fast. Increase your water intake more than the Ensure(that was my problem, I had it backwards). This surgery is painful and hard to adjust to. If I didn’t have a medical issue, I would’ve never gotten it.

Good question

If you want to see what their doing you have to pinch the video and it’ll show you like with your two fingers on the screen zoom in and it’ll flip the rotation to what their doing

My endocrinologist was quick to tell me my insurance covers the sleeve. I opt for the Opti fast diet which worked but financially cant keep up. I now want to get the sleeve for a longer lasting instead of ruining my diet like i did. This gives me hope. Only problem is i read that if you already have acid reflux it will get worse. Anyone have a successful surgery without having acid reflux or it making it worse?

I used to have pretty bad acid reflux (because I ate like a pig!) and have had a sleeve gastrectomy and as I can no longer stuff my face like a maniac, my reflux has practically disappeared.

I feel like with any and all educational surgery videos that the explanation should be done with a voice over rather than during the surgery. Each and every surgery is very serious and can run certain risks. It may not be the case, but I feel that when your focus is on making a video, your main focus is no longer on the patient on the table. The patient will have a longer surgery which will keep them under anesthesia longer which I hear is also undesirable. I am sure you are a great surgeon and an amazing team. But just from my own point of view, I feel this patient wasn’t the priority in this video.

Fire the camera man you ain’t show nothing
