J & J Swedish Bands only $ for a fill how much have you paid ?



Recommended Posts

I have recently had a J &J band done in Aug. I have lost 14 lbs. and have stopped. I have lost nothing in the past 2 weeks I think I'm ready for a fill my Dr. decided not to apply any fill during my surgery. Stated that some people have been having problems with the fill at time of surgery. Mine hold 11 CC and I have 0... I have tried to find a Dr. in

Atlanta GA I'm willing to drive to several surrounding states but I HATE to fly, and don't want tot go back to Mexico if at all possible. I can't find anyone reasonable with $ or that will follow another dr. So far best offer is $2000.00 for a life time of banding... The Dr. would probably die the day after I paid. And he is new on his own. Anyone know of better? Ga. Tenn., Ala, SC, Fl? Please help I'm A Self pay out close to 10,000.00 with everything so far. :)

I also have the Swedish Band. I'm in Saudi so I can't help you. If you don't mind me asking, why didn't you get the Inamed Band or look into fill doctors in your area prior to banding?

      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.

      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!
