I had mine done on Monday here ion Waco, Texas Dr. Gayland Sims did mine. I am doing pretty good. I will tell you that I am in some pain and it feels like I have a knott in the middle of the chest but it comes and goes. I am on liquids as the manual calls for. I have a large incision across my belly and 4 more in other spots of my body. I think it will take me longer brfore I heal up

I was banded in St.Francis hospital, Poughkeepsie New York By DR. Dominic Artuso...The surgery probably saved by life, I had a severe Hiatial Hernia that he repaired at the same time he did my lap band...Wonderful doctor..very caring and understanding would recommend him to anyone considering having the surgery...will always be grateful:whoo:

I had mine done in Toronto at the Surgical Weight Loss Centre by Dr. Colbourn. It was a wonderful place. I am very happy with all the Centre did for me. Follow up is great. Where you chose to go is the most important thing. Good luck to all. Bob

Hi!!

I am new to this site but thought I would start here and let you know I had my LapBand put in September 4th, 2007 by Dr. Mumford in Mississauga, Ontario. Had to pay for it myself which in the long run I hope it was worth it.:faint:So far doing okay. Dr. Mumford was very accommodating and everyone at the clinic was great.

Hope this helps.

Sheila

      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.
