Hi, my name is Jeri and my appointment is for June 19 with Dr. Atkinson in Las Vegas. I live in Temecula, CA, not happy with doctors in my area so I will travel to Vegas. I'm a self-pay also and since I'm coming from out of state, my daughter has the band, and I've done tons of research, they let me skip the seminar and everything else. I saw he doctor June 1, will return June 18 for pre-op and will be banded the next day. I'm very excited and cant wait. I'm a bit worried about the whole liquid part. Also, can someone tell me how they get the pretty graphics that keeps track of the weight loss and bmi? Good luck to all of you.

      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!
