Dr Visit today...



Recommended Posts

Had my 6 month appointment today...could not have gone any better....asked me one question about my band, if I had any complaints...I said no and that was all there was to it....

Eventually the Dr., the staff and I hung around behind the glass and had a fun time comparing things like our running habits, what playlists we listen to...eating before or after a workout, and what to eat...etc...

The PA and NUT, who are relatively new to the staff, maybe a year, were pumping me for information they can share to their patients... and they were telling me some of the questions they get everyday...sounded EXACTLY like this website......(but I didn't say anything)

It was good to hear them say I was one, and in some regards the best success patient they have ever had with the lap band.....not just for the weight loss, many people do that, but for the total physical transformation...even the staff was there when I first walked in the door over 3 years ago say they don't recognize me when I come in now.

Next appointment in 6 months...they waved me off when I pulled out my Credit card...said I don't have to pay for those visits anymore...

I'm saying this because the band is THE BEST.....THE EASIEST.....and most FANTASTIC thing I have ever done for myself.....I do not regret one thing. And I have a new life and a new body to show for it...what else can I ask for?

      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.

      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!
