Elizbath,
Thanks so much for replying.Going out of country is no problem.The scary part is follow up if there is a serious complication as there is no one who understands DS in the province.And the past experience with ER .

Hi folks,
I ve been initially thinking on getting the DS out of country. I live in AB,Canada and the only two DS surgeons we have are in Montreal thats 3700 Miles away
Traveling for DS is small price to pay. But how important is follow up with the surgeon what if there is a complication afterwards there is no surgeon in the whole province who understands DS.
DS is far superior surgery in terms of skills, i remember when i had the band removed out of country. I started getting fever three days post op i went to ER and told the nurse that i had the band removed. You ll be surprised what she asked me was how many bands did u have
I said people only get one,and she kept insisiting there are several bands placed on stomach.
Anyhows she said she doesnt think its a medical emergency and she kept me waiting for 12 hours.She said she ll only consider it as medical emergency if you are bleeding from mouth.
I called my surgeon in Tijuana and she said it could be a irritaed throat thats causing the fever from the local anesthesia tubing.She suggested an upper GI.When i told the RN about that.she said thats not going to happen because simply she doesnt think there is a need.
My bariatric Surgeon in Tijuana wanted a upper GI because of a possible infections,leaks etc because I was only 3 or 4 days post op and had fever.
Anyhow i was seen by a MD after 12 hours .DOC said he thinks its a regular viral infection and will go away and there is no need to run any test.
The fever was gone in two days as my tijuana surgeon said it could be a irritated throat from the tubing and that it was luckily. So conclusion Doctors here dnt even understand the basic banding surgery which i off course hate. I am not trying to be negative but there are possibility of complications with any major surgery. What if there is a obstruction i know its rare ,what if i need to be put on feeding tube. All of those things hold me back from DS which i really want.
So wish i was born in States but can’t change that unless one of you are willing to adopt me. The simplest option is VSG as i am light weight but NOOOOOOOO i dnt want another diet.
Like i said there are only two DS surgeons in the whole Country and they are 3700 miles away is it the right surgery of choice for me????
Thanks so much

Topic: RE: old wives tales??Vets can i kindly get ur attention plz
Hi,
I ve been trying to find long term results on sleeve but , i couldnt find any one more than 3 + years out.You guys also have sleeve as part of DS.Since DS has been around for quite a while i think the best place to get help is from you guys.
My questions are
1) Does sleeve stretches over time and how much and if possible could you guys plz write down here how much are you able to eat in one sitting compare to when u were earlier out.
Here is what VSGer's say the strechy part fundus is thrown away so your stomach cant get back to its orignal size and there is no hunger after VSG its only acid that makes u feel like u r hungry but anti acids fix that problem.I havnt had the VSG or yet but for me it sounds like old wives tales
Vsger's are too early out to make a final conclusion about it cant get back to its orignal size.
Plz kindly help me out with it as you guys are way further out than VSGer's.
I am light weight a BMI 36.7 cant decide between VSG and DS
Thank you so much
