Recommended Posts

Hey! I am new to this forum and have been just cruising around and reading.

I am about to begin the journey towards LAP-BAND...I am going to the education seminar for Dr. Steinberg next week. I am very excited as I have prayed about this for a couple of years, but our previous insurance would not cover it. Our new insurance pays for it, so I am going for it. :biggrin:

I was wondering if there is still anybody out there in my area?

I am! I live in Perry, but work in Warner Robins. I started my journey in June and have a September 23rd date. I am being banded by Dr. Bagnato in Albany. It's a great group and I am really impressed! Keep in touch!

I'm a very close neighbor or yours-Warner Robins.

Best decision I ever made. Is it a walk in the part? No- we have to do our part- I know what they mean by "it's only a tool".

Best wishes.

Sandra

Hi Middle Georgia Group, I was banded on Dec 13 2010 by Dr. C. Smith in Albany. This is my first week - and so far so good. I also had hiatal hernia repair. I must say that if I don't sip throughout the day that I feel hunger. broth - yuck - but I am looking forward to week 2.

      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!
