:clap2: Hey Guys,

I have started losing weight by myself.... 10lbs so far. If they keep my waiting any longer, I won't need to be banded.

Good luck and let us know what happens.

Just wanted to stop in and say "hi" from Texas. I am a Michigander, although I live in Texas now!! Miss the weather up there. Visited for 2 weeks in early July and now I'm back in 100+ weather!!! Ugh!! Well, my sister is thinking about lapband and lives in Bay City. I want her to go to an experienced doctor of lapband....over 1,000...any advice?? I will be banded on July 28 in Mexico (self pay).

Thanks!!

Good luck with your banding. You may miss the weather here but trust me, lately it has been just like Texas! (I used to live in Galveston & Wichita Falls). Except we have the mugginess not the dry heat. lol...

I am getting my banding at Hurley Hospital in Flint. They are still realtively new for it. ABout a year. BUT they have been doing the Rou E Y for 7 years. SO I think they know what they are doing! Just tell her you think she should check out other places.:)

Ready2bthin.. Tell her to check out the lapband center of Michigan in Port Huron. There's two doctors there and between the two of them they have over 1500 surgeries. I'll be banded by them on August 3rd.

Actually, I had told her to check out Port Huron as I believe that the docs there were proctored by one of the Mexican docs I was looking at. Not positive about that, but I knew they were one of the more experienced places in Michigan. Thanks for your input and hope all goes well!!

MMPC weight loss centers....Dr. Baker is great!! All costs are clearly explained and they work with most insurance companies. Around $800 dollars out of pocket.

      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!
