Has Anyone Had Dr.frank Felts???



Recommended Posts

I have a consult with Dr. Felts. I know very little about him or his practice. I've tried researching him and just found a few post. Can anyone tell me anything about him or his practice? Any advice? I'm on the low BMI 32. I'm nervous they will not be able to help me. Any advice?

Jarvis J,

You'll do just fine. He's a great doctor and has done lots of lap band procedures. I had surgery about 5 weeks ago and I am doing great so stay positive. You're in good hands!

Jarvis J,

I was banded by Dr. Felts last month & had my first fill / post op this past Monday. He is GREAT! His follow up afterwards was very caring & supportive.

I too had a low BMI - they should absolutely be able to help you....His staff is some of the nicest people you will meet, they care!!

Thanks to those who replied. I still go back and forth. I need help and I realize I can't do this on my own anymore. I'm nervous about all the constant fills. I will be self pay and all the money scares me. The long term of the band and the expense it could possibley cost to maintain...it just scare me. I know two people who have had the surgery. The ended up not being able to afford to pay for the fills so they gave up. I guess I need some re-assurance.

      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.

      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!
