I was banded in Peoria,IL by Dr. James Debord Peoria Surgical Group at St. Francis Medical Center.

Thrilled with my whole experience their Bariatric Program is one of the best in the Nation and they are a Center of Excellence as well.

I WAS BANDED BY DR RUMBAUT IN MONTEREY, Mexico. I FOUND HIM ON GASTRICBAND.COM. HE'S WORLD CLASS AND DOES FREE FILLS FOR ALL OF HIS PATIENTS.. YOU CANT BE FREE.. AND EVEN IF IT DID COST. ITS WOULD HAVE BEEN A TEENY TINY PRICE TO PAY TO FINALLY BE FREE FROM FAT... GOTTA LOVE THIS DR.. I'D DO IT A MILLION TIMES OVER...

has anyone had surgery in Las Vegas?

For banding? Or that guy that does mini gastric bypass?

If it is the MGB guy, what a horror. Don't go there. He claims that with bands it is impossible to lose weight. Yet he doesn't tell that MGB isn't a hit in the US or any other country because of the high failure rate.

He's a joke in the medical community.

Had my lap band placed on 07/21/2007 in Tijuana Mexico by Dr. Gonzalez. I am 17 1/2 weeks post-op and have lost 35 pounds so far. I had a great experience with Dr. G and being in Mexico.

      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!
