I'm a big fan of my doctors' office, which has a team of surgeons and a great support system. Check them out at www.advancedlaparoscopicsurgeons.com. They work out of Morristown Memorial Hospital.

There are also programs at Chilton Hospital, Hackensack Medical Center, and others farther south. Where are you located?

Hi!

Are you in North Jersey or South? I live in Cherry Hill Nj, but I'm having my surgery over the river at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. Its an easy drive and I have had a wonderful experience so far. The Dr's names is Dr. Noel Williams.

Do any of them do fills to and if so will they accomodate bands done in Mexico? I have a doctor but I think she does blind non barium swallow fills and that scares the behoosefat out of me (yes, I made that word up).

I don't know if my doctors' office will do fills for patients other than their own, but I don't see why not. They welcome other patients to their support groups. However, I imagine they'd only be willing to do Inamed bands, since that's the kind they're expert in. But to be sure, go ahead and give them a call! Can't hurt to ask. See the link in my post above for their website and contact information. :cool:

      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!
