It must be because he did my surgery. That is so expensive though. I would be broke if I had to pay that out of pocket. I've had 5 fills in 8 months. I'm going for another one in 2 weeks. Good luck.

HI~

I was wondering if anyone has went to the Detroit Medical Center through BeLiteWeight.com? This is all fairly new to me so any information is extremely welcome. Im from Philadelphia, and am looking to stay as close as possible. So far that is the closest place I have found who seems reputable that has the self pay option. Thanks for everyones thoughts!!! :help:

I had my surgery in Port Jervis with Dr. Kwon. A self payer with two major insurance companies rejection (attorneys appeal in process) I paid 22,200 which included the hospital, etc. One year of free fills. Do not know the cost afterwards. Banded 08/30/06 and it will be one year soon. So far down 100 pounds. Good luck and be well.

I went to Monterrey Mexico for my band. I was comfortable there. I took a friend who spoke spanish. The only issue I had was the nurses didn't speak any english. Take a translation book if u go alone. The doc and his assistant spoke english so there wasn't any problems there. Everyone was very pleasant and I would take my daughter there if she wanted a band.

      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.

        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!
