HI! I'm a beginner here and wanted to know if anyone out there has been to Dr. Haag or Dr. Fiallo? I had my consult with Dr. Haag on November 1st and am starting the process now. Anything of note about these docs?:cry

I went to their office. I was banded by Dr. Fiallo on Oct. 5th. Today I had my first fill. I am down 42 pounds total, 22 since surgery. I feel great. I like them.

Hi-I have Dr. Haag. He gives the best fills. I have never had a twinge of pain. I had my surgery on 7/13 and have lost 50 lbs, I am happy with my choice. They also have a great lapband support group. I have heard positive about both docs, but more frequently for Haag. Good luck-let me know if you have other questions.

Hi,

I am new to this web site, and not too sure about how it works yet. I am a patient of Dr. Haag, and had my surgery Nov. 2008, I have since lost 65lbs. Dr. Haag was wonderful right from the start, and now I only see him once in a while for a fill. I have had 6 fills, and they have all been very easy. This is the best thing I ever did, and I am very happy I found the doctor that I did!:blink:

He is great! I have lost 155 pounds. His fills never hurt and he always seems to get them right where they need to be. Gotta love him!

Hello everyone. My name is Renee and I had my first consult with Dr. Fiallo in May. I have already gone through all the necessary steps for surgery and my follow-up is on August 31st. Then, hopefully, I will have a date for surgery. So far I am pleased with them. The support groups are wonderful. I wish everyone the best of luck on their journey.

      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!
