Dr. Carl Weiss - carl weiss



Recommended Posts

I had my band placed by doctor Carl Weiss may 21st 2008 and I have nothing to say but good things about him and his amazing team he works with. They are ALL very supportive and have truly given me my life back. I started at 343lbs and im now down to 218lbs.

With this team of caring people you get support groups every Wednesday , a Nutritionists that's very easy to get a hold of and even an appointment with a Physical Therapists to start you off on easy but effective exercises. The surgeon Doctor Weiss is simply amazing and i suggest auburn for anyone who is looking to change there lives and work with a winning team.

I also have Dr. Weiss and the team there is great....I feel so comfortable there. I remember being nervous at one point pre-op, and Dr. Weiss saying " I'll take care of you" or something to that effect and from that point on I have felt very comfortable and worry free. Family asked if I was worried about surgery and I was like "Nope, I have God and my surgeon taking care of me, not nervous at all." I wasn't even very nervous day of surgery. I would recommend the team in Auburn and Dr. Weiss to anyone....but just remember u are in control and must do the work...as Dr. Weiss emphasizes...the band is a tool, not a magic bullet...you have to eat as directed and exercise.

Good luck to anyone starting their journey. I am about one year out and would do it all over again in a minute...loving my journey. I'm down about 70 lbs in first year and that is without exercising for two months due to tendon issues in left foot.

      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.

      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!
