hello everyone, i am setup to have the lap band procedure done in a couple of weeks in dallas texas with dr. wade barker has anyone had good or bad experiences with this dr? please let me know i'm very interested to know upfront. also on the fills what do they cost on average? i live about 100 miles from dallas but the small town i;m from doesn't know anything about lap band so you know how that goes. sounds like you all have had some very wonderful experiences as well as some bad ones. so any advice or info would be greatly appreciated and would be alot of help to me. thank you all so much and good luck to all. hope to hear from you all...

I would have said exactly the same thing! Read the old threads as well as the new ones. You'll find lots of valuable information on here, just for taking the time to read it. Good Luck!

      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!
