Brandi, there are no clear rasons form erosion. Some say it is the band being an improper fit. Some say it is certain conditions that exist in the body. The risk is very low - but do your homework. If you are considering a doctor in Mexico, I suggest joining the yahoo group "Mexcian Bandsters" and searching for the doctors of interest to you.

Hello everyone.

My sincere apologies but I'm going to request this thread be locked. I've asked Alex on several occasions to give a solution to the thread posting problems and I don't think it's fair to people to keep this running for now.

If the posting situation can be resolved I'll be happy to re-open the stats.

Best,

      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.

        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!
