Hi Kelly. You might have a little better luck in finding somebody near if you look under the "local lapband support group" section. It's broken down by state, and then smaller groups under each state. Good luck with the authorization.....that's the worst!!

Hi Tracey,

I was banded Feb of 2008. It is an amazing experience. I highly recommend Dr. Billy. He doesn't band you and then leave you. They have so much support there. I am not the best at using the support anymore but I know its there now. His phone number is 676-9100. He also has an office in TO so you dont have to drive out to Ventura, although I like the office out there cuz the scale measures your whole body and its fun to see different parts shrink. Like now my legs are in the "normal zone" :). Best of luck to you. I'd like to know what you do.

      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!
