Houston Bandsters?



Recommended Posts

What happened to the Houston group that we created who met up in Memorial? It's like the people disappear after one visit. Would anyone like to meet up in Houston just to kick back and enjoy a nice New York Strip SteaK? :wub::thumbup:

Brian, I'm also getting banded by Dr. St. Laruent on January 6, 2009. How has your experience been since surgery? How much have you lost?

I highly reccomend Dr St Laurent.I had a person from work that reccomended him and he has lost over 100lbs.What I like about Dr St Laurent is that he visits with you on you're return visits.He has you do a test where he sees if you can eat 8 oinces of beef and doues you're adjustmens accordingly.Some of the other doctors just go by a barieum x ray and that isn't enough.I have had 2 fills and I feel like I am where I want to be.I have been trying to have the surgey for over 2 years but ran into problems because I am a heart patient.I have been very selective because of this and felt comfortable with him and had confidence in him with his background.My wife used another big name Dr and I am not happy with him and the follow ups she is receiving.I had my surgery done Sept 29 and have lost 28 lbs and lost 36 lbs since labor day.If you have any questions let me know and I will give you my email or phone number.

      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!
