My word! Are they afraid of law suites? It seems like maybe you could go to the medical board or something if he is a quack.

I have been having the same types of problems with my doctor. The last two times I have been in to see him I have had problems. I went in earlier this week and was told I need to go for a barium swallow and to see a dietician. The only problem I have been having is that I have a tight 4cc band and should never go over 1.4cc, but the doctor keeps insisting that I get 2cc's. Then I am over filled and have to go back in for an unfill. Instead of just taking out a tad bit out he then takes out everything, so that I have to go back and pay to once again get a fill. I am in Texas and am wondering who your doctor is. Everytime I go to my doctos office I hear others complaining about the same types of problems.

      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!
