Patient Reviews
Jun 25, 2024
In 2015, I had the bariatric sleeve. It went well for a few years, and then I got pregnant. I had my beautiful son, and then started having a lot of digestive issues. I had a lot of acid reflux. And food just was not going down or sitting right. Dr. Schuster did an upper G.I.. And found that my sleeve had bent into the shape of an L. We tried medication to see if it would help before having to do anything surgical, but nothing helped. Dr. Schuster converted my sleeve to a bypass, and it helped all of the symptoms that I was having with the bent sleeve. Now, don’t get me wrong, this sleeve is amazing, everyone I know who has had this sleeve has had great results! My situation is different and very rare. But Dr. Schuster was able to help me through this! he is a great guy! And a great doctor!
