Cross between a band and sleeve?



Recommended Posts

Check out this procedure. It's investigational so don't bank on getting it.

Welcome to Satiety, Inc.

I have to admit, it's a bit too much like banding to me and the thought of another stoma, puking, sliming, and foaming would make me stay far away from it but those not afraid of a stoma ... might be kinda cool.

It looks like it functions VERY similar to an inflated band... NOT for me! I have no desire to go back to eating an unhealthy diet and dying with heart burn and gastric regurg.

I think this would be great for people who can't get around the idea of their stomach being permanently removed. But... I really wanted my fundus gone and a guarantee of limited ghrelin production and I don't see this procedure giving that.

The band causes soooo many problems that it is a good thing that the band can be reversed. This procedure is kinda sorta like a permanent band and I'm not so sure that would have fewer problems. But it is an interesting concept.

I don't get it though, why keep the Ghrelin? Ghrelin is our enemy. ;o)

Let's face it, the band is on its way out and that means a big loss of $$$$$$$$$$$$$ to the surgeons who have been getting rich doing several a day. All the other weight loss surgeries involve altering the anatomy in some way and that freaks a lot of people out. I see this as the next "big sell" to patients as THE improvement to the band.

Nope, not for me! It's cool that they don't have to make incisions, but that's about the only good thing about it.

Far too similar to how the band works for me. . . I wouldn't go through the pb'ing, sliming, and regardless if I had no incisions.

Seems like...

First they had the mesh band, then the non-adjustable band, then the small adjustable band, then the mega huge adjustable band.. now the "no-band band"? The "Staple" band? The "Band without a band-band"? Heh... I don't know what to call it since it still seems to function like a freak'en band!

A band is a band... not for me. The gov't doesn't print enough money to pay me to get another one. I like my sleeve, wouldn't trade it for anything.

It seems more like the old stomach stapling operation to me than a band.

      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!
