There is no one from Delaware, or are you all shy? I live in Elkton, which is almost Delaware.

Hi there,

You may have to make a trip to Washington, D.C. I havent heard of anything up your way. And perhaps even closer I think someone does it at Hopkins in Baltimore, MD.

:laugh New Castle to be exact. I am in the process of getting all of my testing and counseling and stuff done in anticipation of being banded late April/early May.

Tracy,

Where are you getting you band done? My best friend lives in Wilmington and she came up here to Long Island to have her band placed by my doc. She said they do mostly RNY in DE. because most of the insurance companies won't approve it.

Thanks for the info. I have already found Chrias and I have an appointment scheduled for 5/19. I am sorry to hear about the insurance situation. I hope it works out for you.

I am so new to this since I am just beginning my journey. My mother had gastric Bypass so I know a lot about it but only a tiny bit about the banding. I just think the Lapband is more for me than the bypass since it is less radical. I have my consultation with my surgeon in May but where can I get more specific info about the ports, fills, cc's etc before then? Any advice will be great. Also, my mother got a lot out of her support group. Any ideas where one is in Chester County, Pa or New castle County, DE?

      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!
