Dr. Billy Chat



Recommended Posts

Hi All -

For those of you who are interested, I got this announcement from Spotlight Health today:

Dear Community Members,

In this month's chat, we'll be discussing why weight loss with the LAP-BAND is typically more gradual than with the gastric bypass. How do you determine when you should reach your goal weight? And what should your goal weight be, anyway? Is 50% of your excess body weight a good result?

Dr. Helmuth Billy, a board-certified surgeon from Ventura, California, discusses how to gauge your success and the importance of setting realistic expectations.

The chat will be held Tuesday, August 10, at 6 p.m. PST / 9 p.m. EST.

Note new time! To participate, log on to http://www.spotlighthealth.com

and go to the Morbid Obesity chat page. To submit your questions ahead of time, simply email us at webmaster@spotlighthealth.com.

We look forward to chatting with you soon!

Best of Health,

Spotlight Health

I've been getting those announcements for a year or so and this is the first chat I think I might like to attend. Have you done any of them? What are they like?

This is an important issue for bandsters, I think, and I'd really like to see what a surgeon has to say about it.

      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!
