    Re: Sleeve conversion

    Hi there,
    I did not have a conversion to a sleeve, as this was my first weight loss surgery. But, I have had my sleeve for just over 3 years. Personally, if I were you, I’d consider a gastric...
  3. Re: Mini Gastric Bypass and medication that goes to waste

    Hi,
    I would talk with your surgeon and mental health provider. I personally would go with the bypass, as it really should help the reflux. I had a Sleeve 3 years ago, and my GERD/reflux has just...

    Re: Just starting, total noob...

    Hi,
    I am very confused as to why your doctor is saying that an endoscopy and a sleeve surgery are pretty much the same thing! For one, an endoscopy is done with just mild sedation, you are in and...

    Re: When did you have your first alcoholic drink?

    Hi,
    I have never been a big drinker, but I do occasionally have a drink with friends. I think I had my first bit of wine about 3 months post-op. I felt like I tolerated it well, although I didn't...
