Looking for a Lap Band Adj in Ohio



Recommended Posts

I had my lap band placed March 21st, 2011 in Tiauana, Mexico. I have had a good bit of nausea in the past couple of months so I don't eat very much. On one hand that is a good thing as I have lost 35 pounds in less than two months, but on the other hand it may be too fast since I don't feel good most of the time. I have been to my regular doctor and found out that I had a UTI (probably from not drinking enough water) but took anti biotics and resolved that issue and am trying to drink plenty of Fluid but it is hard to fit it in between eating. This has been one of the hardest adjustments for me, that I can not drink Water while I am eating. I eat small portions, small bites and chew the heck out of it before I swallow but still have a lot of reflux but luckily no vomiting. So all in all I guess I am not doing too bad. I just have not had any aftercare since surgery and would like to find somewhere close to home (Canton, Ohio) to have the band adjustments, fills and nutrition counseling, but have not been able to find anything close. Does anyone know of anywhere in Ohio that I could call?

Thanks

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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?
