Hi Jo in MN, I am from North Dakota!! We are neighbors!

Where approximately are you in MN? Southern, northern, eastern or western part of the state?

Call the hospitals up there and ask them if there is a bariatric surgeon that does surgeries at the hospital. I can give you a great dr but he is in Mpls- kind of a drive for fills and appointments. ( tho the drive to Duluth is still one of my favorites and one we do quite often. Can't say the same for the ride home tho!!!)

hey! I'm from Minnesota too! I'm currently living near Minneapolis, but this is the clinic whose informational meeting/consultation I'm going to:

I have a consultation near the end of January with Dr. Ikramuddin. I saw his name mentioned here another time, and I've read up on him a bit. Sounds like there's a great group of surgeons out of that hospital. I chose it because my insurance covers surgery there. Hopefully for me! :rolleyes:

Good luck!

Hi Neighbors, I'm from South Dakota, originally from MN (twin cities). I will be banded in Mexico in January and am so thankful for this forum. I will be looking for someone to do my fills, possibly in Mpls or Sioux Falls.

I'm from MN. also I live in west central MN. I used to live in Burnsville, MN. Welcome and good luck to you on your weight loss journey. I started my journey in Oct, 2006, and I'm almost to the banding...hopefully, providing my insurance excepts me( so many hoops) but I am willing to do what I have to get healthy. I have chronic back pain, HBP, bad veins..... It sucks! But I'm patiently waiting for the Banding. I can't suggest any Dr. for you but I can tell you this you have come to the right place for support, they are so great here. Good Luck! let us know how it goes.

      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.
