truly country my best advise is start trying to exercise now, and cut out simple sugars. it will help a lot after surgery.

also, do not expect the world, that way if you get it you will be pleasantly surprised. be prepared to lose weight slow. i have only lost 14 lbs since october, but that is 14 lbs that i probably would have gained otherwise.

Hi all, I'm bouncing back in here just to add some info about Protein stuff...I have found the Atkins Protein Drinks to be WONDERFUL! I have only tried to 2 different chocolate drinks (b/c I'm a chocolate lover) but they are truly wonderful. One drink is what I have for Breakfast & it is 15g of protein. At night, when I take pills & before bed, I am also drinking an 8oz glass of Skinny Cow (fat free chocolate milk) and it is 9g protein in just the 8oz. I know I appreciate the tidbits when it comes to foods...so I just wanted to share & see if anyone else is drinking the same?

i was told that after i had my surgery from a lady that works at my doctor's office. all i know is that if your doctor can only do surgery in a "surgery center" i would be wary...however, wellborn, baker, and the guy with baker are all good and clear.

Hello everyone, I was banded by dr. luttrell on july 14. I havent heard the rumors before now. But I went to a few different seminars and chose dr. luttrell. He and his staff were great. I go back for my 2 week follow-up next Tuesday. I would recommend him.

I was banded by Dr. Luttrell in May 2007. Other than minor problems after surgery I have no trouble at all. I'm down 90 pounds and am going to get my next fill in August. Dr. Luttrell's surgery center is a professional surgery center and I don't think you have anything to worry about. Good Luck!

Research and research some more, ask all your friends, neighbors, co-workers ect, you might be surprised at what you might find out, just because they are a surgeon doesn't mean they are capable. Before you put yourself in someone elses hands for an elective procedure be 100% certain. Again i cannot stress enough to check-check and check some more.

If you know anybody in the medical field ask questions, google, call arkansas medical board, search pulaski county civil suits on the county clerks website. Do some research on whomever you choose. This board opened my eyes.

      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!
