Dr. Nirmul did my surgery on 04/09/2010. He is a good surgeon, I have had zero issues!

ckesseler@hotmail.com, if you look at my profile there is a social group for Az bandsters. There are a bunch of us!

I'm in AZ too, banded by Dr. Blackstone of Scottsdale Bariatric Center. Unfortunately, my insurance just dropped Blackstone so she is no longer in-network for me. I need to switch to another doctor for fills, but there's only a few that my insurance covers. Dr. Terry Simpson is one of them. Has anyone gone to him and know his process for fills?

I'm hopefully being banded by Dr. Terry Simpson this summer. Still jumping through insurance hoops so keeping fingers crossed.

To a previous poster - Dr. Simpson takes on already banded patients but you have to pay a one time program fee. Not sure how much it is.

So cool to see others near me in Bandland! :scared2:

I was banded on Tuesday at Northwest Hospital in Tucson. My surgeon is Stephen Burpee. No pain or nausea experienced as yet but I did everything he told me to including the 2 week pre-op diet.

I went through True Results and Dr. Nirmul for my surgery also! I'm about 9 months in and I'm doing great with no fills at all.

I was banded by Dr. Simpson 1/5/10 and love him and his staff. They are attentive and really listen. If you have a problem or question you can email him or his staff and they'll get back to you. His followup is thorough, I didn't have one problem with the surgery or any of the fills.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
