That is great to hear! I thought he was very nice but was wondering if anyone had surgery with him so I'm happy to hear that it was a good experience. How are you feeling 6 months later? Have you had good weight loss or any complications? Really trying to do my research to make sure this is going to be the right choice for me. I'm very nervous about the stuck episodes, burping all the time or Hair loss. Have you experienced any of these problems? Thanks for any information you don't mind sharing with me.

Wow 87 lbs is wonderful! Congratulations! i appreciate your time. Did you consider the sleeve at all instead of lap band? I know the Dr. does all surgeries and they talked to me about the sleeve but I still think I would rather the lap band. How often do you have to go to Dr. F office for check ups or 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!
