Try Dr. Rob Schuster at Banner Gateway Hospital in Mesa. He is my surgeon and he takes a lot of people who have had their surgery elsewhere. He is fabulous! Good Luck- Lighterload

well im not in AZ so i couldnt help with doc referrals, but i see u said u are having alot of problems...is everything ok??? are u in pain?? I would be so upset, if i was having problems with my band and i was being refused it could bejust b/c they weren't the ones that got paid the big bucks for the procedure..... they seem to not be lookin at the big picture of their whole reason for being a doctor in this field...

Hi Fletch, i'm sorry you're having problems, people move and we all need medical anywhere we go so I don't understand. Kindof sounds like Orthodontists, hey dont like to see people who have existing work. But if you look youll find one.Well I just was banded last week and I feel blessed to have found Dr. Simpson in Phoenix, and I hope you will have luck there , tell him you came online and asked for help and that I recommend him highly he is one of a kind old fashioned type Doctor. My name is Sonya and just go to his website Dr.Simpson.net and email him. Goodluck.

      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!
