I was at NWWLS for my band but I'm not impressed with their doctors. Srikanth will do the whole thing in one day ( I'm having band to sleeve revision). I wish my band surgeon was still doing bariatric surgery....he was the best.

I had my band at NWWLS and I'm a revision also. Who was your surgeon? I like mine so I am going back to her! However she can't promise it's a 1 day procedure because if there is too Much scar tissue Etc she won't risk doing it till it heals!

I'm going through Dr Myur Srikanth. He operates at St Francis in Federal Way and Evergreen in Kirkland. He has never done it in 2 procedures and he's done over 3000 of them.

How long have you had your band for? What's your pre op testing been like?

Hi, I was born and raised in Federal Way. Moved to Montana for 3 years and just moved back to Federal Way in December. I just had my revision to sleeve 2/7/13 so I'm a newbie at the sleeve.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
