I honestly can't say. I was just banded feb 7th. At my follow up appt he told me to come back in 3 weeks and we'd discuss a fill. He was happy with my weight loss thus far so he wasn't pushing a fill. Originally they told me 6 weeks after surgery.

I think Dr. Thomas Lee is in the Mt. Laurel New Jersey area, but also sees patients in Philly too - From what I understand, he does Blind Stick, and has access to Fluoroscopy, when needed. I've heard solid things about him, but I think you have to make an appointment through the FCUSA Network (866-345-5872)

The best of luck to you

I was banded at Hahnemann Hospital; Dr Castellanos is awesome. Given your weight loss, he'll given you what he thinks is best (not to overfill), but he'll state to see him in a month...sooner if you feel that you're eating too much. For example, if I had a fill Jan 10th, I would make my next appt for Feb 10th, and if I felt that I was still eating more than 4 oz a sitting, I would reshedule for Jan 30th.

Because, I was lossing extremely fast up front, he was very conservative with my fiils, but now that my honeymoon is over, I'm a llittle more aggressive with seeing him for 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.

        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!
