Grand Rapids Area - Dr Jaret Beane



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone! Happy Holidays!!

I am looking to start a topic with bandsters in the Grand Rapids area.

My surgery is scheduled for Dec 30 with Dr Beane. I am starting my liquid diet this Thursday.

I had to go through the 6 month diet with Dr Beane and I have lost 19 pounds since May 2010.

I'm very excited to get to this point and can't wait to begin 2011 with a new me!!

Check in and introduce yourself and say hello!

Chris

How was your experience with Dr.Beane? I know this is an old post so not sure if you are still active but I would love to chat. I am pre-band and am looking for banders in the area.

Dr Beane is awesome you will only see him a couple of times before surgery and once after surgery. Teri his nurse will take over and do all the fills. I was banded in December and I have lost almost 50 lbs. my BMI was on the lower end so it is harder for me to lose weight. The most important thing is to go monthly even if you don't need a fill. I love his staff and couldn't have picked a better doctor!

I am scheduled for surgery with Dr Beane the end of October. Any advice, any thoughts to pass on?

The first three-four days are the hardest as your body adjusts. After the 4th day, you start to feel more energetic and motivated to continue. Your body feels healthier. It is definitely worth the effort!

      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!
