Fluoroscopy in Washington State??



Recommended Posts

Has anyone in Washington found a Doctor in Washington who uses the Fluoro system to fill?? Thank you!

Also i should ask, if I havent used Fluoro before can I transfer into it with the band I have?

I can't answer about any specific locations in your area, but the actual fluoro process doesn't have anything to do with your band. It's just a machine they use to SEE your restriction level and view correct placement, etc of your band. Think of it like a live xray. You just drink a contrasting liquid (barium solution in my case) while the doctor watches it go down.

Here's a link from my docs office describing it. http://www.hoab.org/...louis-missouri/

I was going to say my dr does flouro feels in Lacey, WA, but if you live in Spokane not sure you want to drive the 5hrs or so 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.

      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!
