Northern Arizona Dr??



Recommended Posts

Hi all! I am moving to Prescott Valley for a year while my husband is over seas. Anyways.... are there any recommended Drs in N.AZ? I want to have one in place "in case" I need one. I am about 20 weeks pregnant and have 10cc's in a 14 cc band. So far all is wonderful!! i just need someone if I do need to have a bit taken out and to also check my band after I give birth. I prefer fluoroscopy if possible. Did I mention I love my band :)

I used to see Dr Berger in Flagstaff for my fills when I first got my band. He does fills under fluroscopy. I was self pay... I can look up how much fills were if you need that info. I completely forgot now, it has been over 3 years. I have since found a local surgeon in Tucson who does my aftercare.

It was pretty quick, in and out. They do all the fills on certain days and it was almost assembly line. He was nice, but I didn't feel like a patient... more like a number. It may have changed in the last 3 years.

I think Flagstaff is about 2 hours away from Prescott Valley. So a little bit of a haul. Closer than Tucson though!! Haha. I can't believe I used to drive over 4 hours one way for a freaking fill!! My new doctor is 15 minutes from my house. <3

**edited to add** Not sure why links aren't displaying properly? Here is a link though....

      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.

      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!
