Gastric Sleeve Surgery

Gastric Bypass

Lap Band

Gastric Balloon

You should return to your surgeon for follow-up. I often prescribe sublingual levsin for these symptoms and it works quite well.

How do you avoid chest tightness? What do you do once you have it? (Walking and breathing dont help). How do you avoid vomiting? (I eat slowly and Im talking about 2 teaspoons of food and I cant hold it down). Thank you!

I'm on week 3 post op and I have chest tightness after every solid meal and can't keep it down. Any suggestions?

Safest option is to do this in 2 steps: 1) remove the band first, and 2) return to surgery 3 or more months later to convert to sleeve.

My band Slipped and I am going to get it removed amd get the sleeve. Can this be done at the same time or do I need two surgeries?

Can lap band be switched to sleeve?

It is removed the same way it was put in via the endoscope down the esophagus into the stomach. From there the balloon is deflated and pulled out.

Is there any sort of recovery after it is removed, like the liquid diet?

How is the intragastric balloon removed?

You will be able to eat normally. If the balloon was associated with nausea, then it should go away. You should continue the diet started while the balloon was in place to continue weight loss or maintain it.

Will a person be able to eat normally? Will they experience nausea again? Will they be given an extended diet plan?

What should be expected after having the intragastric balloon removed?

Those two medications will not prevent you from having surgery. They are commonly used these days and their doses will not need to be altered after surgery.

Xanax and Citolopram are my medications. I am over 250IBs.

I want to ask you if I am on medications, can I still have gastric bypass surgery? (Photo)

If you have significant acid reflux from your stomach into your esophagus, then conversion to gastric bypass + hiatal hernia repair will be helpful. The key to a good hiatal hernia repair in mobilizing the lower esophagus so that it sits comfortably in the abdomen without tension. Re-inforcing the diaphragm repair with mesh is also be something I would add.

Experiencing intermittent pain & discomfort while eating 4 yrs post gastric sleeve surgery. Had upper GI. Bariatric surgeon says my stomach is going into my esophagus due to a severe hiatal hernia. He suggests doing a revision to a gastric bypass & fixing the hernia for best results. He says just fixing the hernia may only be a temp fix with risk of reherniating a possibility down the line. I don't want a gastric bypass, but I also don't want to end of doing another surgery a few years from now.

Hiatal hernia repair or revision to a gastric bypass along with hernia repair?

If you have surgery in Mexico, it is unlikely you will get assistance from your local bariatric surgeon. The best choice for patients is to seek care from a surgeon in the US who is close to home.<br><br>

Will they want to treat me in the event I needed a follow up visit or emergency visit? My biggest concern because I have other health conditions involved.

Will having surgery in Mexico compromise my relationships with my US doctors?

Both sleeve and gastric bypass are effective for diabetes. Gastric bypass has a more powerful impact on diabetes than sleeve however. Diabetes will not have an effect on bleeding during surgery.

I was wondering which procedures such better for people that suffer from type II diabetes? And is there more complications with excessive bleeding during the surgical procedure?

Does the Gastric bypass or the sleeve help with diabetes?

Plan on seeing a local bariatric surgeon or a gastroenterologist to get an upper endoscopy. Sounds like you may have a marginal ulcer.

For the past several weeks I have a squeezing sensation at my breastbone, heartburn, nausea and vomiting several days a week after dinner. My portion sizes have decreased as I feel full more quickly. I have no history of strictures, but have had several ulcers at the anastomoses.

How likely is it to have a stricture 15 years post-op? Open RNY

Having done both, I usually encourage band patients who want a second operation to choose a gastric bypass. I don't find band to sleeve patients lose weight as well as band to bypass. Also the complication rate of band to sleeve is notably higher because of the scarring around the stomach where the band is sitting.

I had a lap band placed in 2012, have loss about 15 lbs. I have high bp, borderline diabetic, and sleep apnea. My problem is portion control, and I didn't feel restricted with the band. Im 36, and, my current weight is 225 lbs

Need a revision. Should it be sleeve or roux en y? (Photo)

Bariatric surgeons have advanced training in surgical procedures of the gastrointestinal system that treat obesity by restricting the amount of food the stomach can hold and the nutrients it can absorb.
