I'm also looking for a doctor in western NC. I had my band done in AZ and have moved. I am now having stomach problem 5 years later. Not able to eat much. Losing weight but not the right way. Now I can't seem to find a doctor to go to for this problem. I would appreciate any help

There are only 2 people other than you who are watching this thread. You would be better off starting your own thread/topic. But, did you read my post. It applies to your question too?

I have checked out the surgeons list on the bottom of the page and also googled bariatric surgeons for my area but I guess there aren't any around. Guess I will live with the miserable side affects.

Some General Surgeons will have some knowledge about bands and other weight loss surgery. Maybe if you have a GP at the new location he/she can help.

      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!
