:thumbup: Are there any Northern Californina people out there? There are many LB's done here yet. I have lost 20 lbs so far and love it. It would be great to hear from someone around here! Have a great day!

I go to Kaiser Richmond too. I live about 10 mins from there.

My Dr s name is Arron Baggs . He gave me my second fill.

Has anyone else gotten a big bruise from there fill ? I sure did I still have the black and blue bruise from last week. The problem is that I have been chewing my butt off but I still am getting stuck almost every day I have to PB almost every time I eat. I also have days that I can eat almost anything just fine. But once I get stuck that means I cant eat or drink much all day. But the upside is that I am dropping weight. I may need a lil unfill but I don't want too because I am finally dropping the pounds. I have been banded for 4 1/2 months. The thing is that I only have about 60 pounds to lose but my sis has about 180 pounds to lose and she has already lost 50 or 60 pounds she got banded a month before me. I have only lost about 12 pounds.And that was because of my diet post band.

      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!
