I usually hang out over on the complications forum, but we just got this cool "mini-Emmi" education program that Inamed set up for us. Check it out and let me know what you think:

It's kind of a watered-down version of the full Emmi, for people just looking into the band.

Dr. C,

My surgeon provides the full version of this for his patients. I think it is great! We were given a "secret password" to access it after our Initial visits. I also liked how the full version gives the patient an opportunity to write down questions that come up while viewing. My thanks to you and all surgeons that provide information and support.

Terry:)

am i the only one who has no idea what a mini-emmi is?

It's just the trademarked name for this educational video.

I would think PreOps would find it helpful. I think it's good that it explains that it's not a "Quick Fix." It also says that "LapBand surgery significantly changes your life."

I think it's PERFECT for folks wondering "what is the lapband." Very simple and short.

Thanks for sharing. Shawn

      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!
