Thank you so much for your support and the info on the yahoo groups. I will have to check them out. My new Dr. is Dr. Watson, here at UT Southwestern Medical Center, where I work. He is really nice and really encouraging. I see him again tomorrow. He has had me on a liquid diet with just Water and Protein Drinks since Friday, so I am eager to see him and see if I can eat some food again. He is going to take out more of my fill tomorrow, and then on August 29th he is going to have me do another upper GI and see me again. But I have lost 6 pounds since Friday. I am happy about that.:thumbup:

I'm not sure I know enough about slippage other than what I've read on the news boards from other bandsters. I've heard major vomiting will cause this and I'm not talking about PB.

i had dr carter and no pre op diet, which caused me no problems...he is awesome, conservative with fills, which feels frustrating but is really best for you, i have nothing but good things to say about him.....feel free to contact me for support or answers to any questions about dr carter

I am thinking of being banded by Dr. Jayseelan. How did it go and how much have you lost.

      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!
