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.

      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!
