Recommended Posts

Hi everyone just joined and wanted to say hello.

as you can see my name is martyn and i live in Great Yarmouth Norfolk.

i was banded in Jan 2006 by Mr Paul Super at Heartlands Hospital.

up till today i have lost 4st 6 lbs but that i fell was not really due to my band. since my band was fitted my restriction has not been good i now have 8 mils i still can eat normal and to be real honest i think that the aftercare from Mr Super is non existent.

anyway thats all i can say about that thanks

Welcome Martyn! I am at 6cc and go for another fill this afternoon. (In a couple of hours, actually!) No turkey for me this Thanksgiving. Oh well!

I was banded in May 2006 and have lost about 40 pounds.

I live in Virginia, also, in the Shenandoah Vallley.

Hi Martyn and :welcome: to LBT. This is an excellent place for information and support. I'm not sure from your post how much weight you have lost to date and like everyone else, we all wish it could be more! When you say that the aftercare from Mr. Super (what a name!) is non-existant, what are you expecting that you are not getting?

Raise some of your questions here and there will be someone who can offer you some of their wisdom. In addition several medical professionals look at the site and make comments from time to time.

Stay in touch,

Jo Ann

It depends if you expect a basic standerd of care with fills then no under Mr Super you dont get that.

If we expected brass knobs then thats a pretty unrealistic expectation how even the most basic of care under the Heartlands Hospital and Mr Super (super by name NOT super by nature) is not forth coming.

Be prepared to fight fight fight for everything even a fill appointment. I saw the light and walked away from him because i couldnt cope with the battle any more,

      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!
