Depends what you mean by a test. 8 years ago when I had sleeve surgery a few months later I had an endoscopy done (for unrelated reasons) and as an aside I also knew the surgeon had indeed done a sleeve.

Remember to focus on the positive changes that your surgery can bring and surround yourself with a supportive network of friends, family, and healthcare professionals. Also, make sure to follow your doctor's post-operative instructions carefully to ensure a safe and successful recovery. Best of luck with your upcoming surgery, and remember that you're not alone in this journey!

Agree. If for some reason you're questioning what happened during your surgery, making a request for the operative report from records department at the medical facility where it was performed is a good way to go. I am doing the aame to have copies for my records and it's a bit of a process.

Not sure of any other process outside of talking to your surgeon/doctors if there are issues or concerns.

Hope you're okay!

Besides getting a barium swallow test if you have your surgical notes it will tell you what type of surgery you had done.

Why are you questioning what surgery you had? Are you having issues?

Topic: RE: Upcoming Gastric Sleeve Surgery And I Am Dreading It

Hi! I totally understand your anxiety and concerns about your upcoming gastric sleeve surgery. However, I have a friend who underwent the same surgery and I'm happy to report that everything turned out okay for her. The surgery was successful, and although she did experience some hair loss, it grew back after a few months. Additionally, she had excess skin removed with a panniculectomy, which was covered by her insurance. So while it's normal to have concerns, I hope this reassures you that many people have gone through this surgery and come out on the other side with positive outcomes. Best of luck to you!

Topic: RE: Mental Health After Surgery

I'm sorry to hear this. Unfortunately, mental health problems are more common than we would like, and it is important to seek help on time. So it's great that you attended OA. To deal with issues important to me, I visit forums like obesityhelp and get inspired by other people's stories. I also like to read sources such as https://studydriver.com/mental-health/ where I find answers to many questions related to mental health in student papers. It so happened that it's easier for me to find motivation using the example of another person, so I'll tell you that not everything is going smoothly in my marriage either. But my husband and I could find a balance and overcome all difficulties thanks to our aspiration and therapy. I hope you can too, and that you are doing well.
