Ok, I loved the doctor and the staff at the hospital are amazing. The only downfall I found is, I should have studied up on this procedure. It has been over three yrs since my surgery and I have just about gained all my weight back. I am always hungry and I do not know why. I am sure my stomach has stretched back to its original size but that is not the fault of the doctor but my fault only. It has to do with actually researching this surgery and getting counseling or support. The one thing I do not like is that soups are very hard to have because you can not have liquid and food at the same time (chili,chicken noodle soup). My favorite foods. I never thought about this. And pasta, it expands in your stomache, so be careful. I also work from home, so I do not get the exercise that I should be getting. Would I get resleeved, yes, just can not afford it, (cost has gone up) and Mexico is beautiful and so is the staff at the motel you will stay at.. over all loved everything about it, just should have been counseled on the after surgery effects.
