The Midband - Medical Innovation Developpement in Lyon France

The Swedish Adjustable - Obtech Medical AG of Switzerland now owned by Johnson & Johnson/Ethicon

BioEnterics Corp - Inamed

Every once in a while we get some that pops up with a band from outside the US that is looking for a fill doctor.

I think I remember vaguely of some one have a "Cousine" lapband from Belgium.

There are probably some others.

Are you looking for something in particular?

Bless your heart you live in a cold place. Isn't the population in that territory pretty small also. I think I read somewhere around 25,000.

Yikes that is great thinking ahead and doing your researching and planning.

Good luck and let us know how it goes.

      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.

      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!
