How are you doing? Have you had your fill yet? I was supposed to have it, but it was on the day we had a huge snow storm. My fill date is now Wednesday teh 27th. I don't feel very much restriction anymore, I am glad I am getting filled. I have only lost about 12 pounds since the surgery and I can't wait to lose 100 more. Sometimes if I eat too fast I feel like its stuck in my esophogus but it passes. I am sure once my band gets filled more I will probably just throw up. Have you gone to the realize web site yet? It is a decent site for tracking your size but the food tracker is lame. The Weight Watchers web site is awsome for food tracking but you have to pay for it.

woodsy......thanks for thr reply but i havent had surgery yet. my date is march 19 and i'm so excited i can't stand it. but good luck to u. i know u will do well. the biggest problem i'm having right now is finding a dr that will do my fills. i live in yankton, sd and the biggest towns by me r sioux falls,sd and sioux city iowa. i've call about 6 drs so far and they won't do fills because they didn't do surgery. i don't know what the big deal is. well thanks for the chat......sue

Be careful of those pushing belite pretty hard. They are all making it a point to use coordinator names and push a specific doc.

Think about it. Sounds to me like they are trying to clean up a reputation on the boards. Problem is, they are being too obvious about it and giving themselves away.

Lots of patient coordinators posting while posing as patients. Just be careful and DO your research!

sorry not familiar with belite (sp) but have you checked out Oakwood Hospital...Dr. Bacal and his group seems very knowledgeable.

Terry the coordinator is on top of her game and could walk you through the self pay stuff that you might need.

I was banded in st. johns hospital in detroit, mi on October 16th. My doctor was Dr. Meguid. He is also in with Dr. Hawasli, their office is in st. clair shores. I don't now what their self pay amount is however I can tell you that they are very very good surgeons!!! They take great care of you and I personally feel very confident and comfortable with Dr. Meguid!!!:clap2::lol:

I was banded 06-18-08 by Dr. Hawasli

My self pay was 15 LARGE (with 1 year after care with fills)

Dr. Hawasli is the best in Detroit and has been for years

Dr. Meguid is a STUD (Good Looking,Rich,smart VERY SMART and like one of those savants with HUGE TALENT) Lifes Good for Dr. Meguid

St Johns Hospital was very comforting and did a great job

Besides their nurses are HOT AS HELL, Like 95% of them :thumbup::lol::lol::lol::)

Hi I went through BeLiteWeight.com pre-op and they became beliteusa.com when I was scheduled for a surgery date.

If you are looking for excellent Bariatric Surgeons. Then look into Henry Fords. They are a Center of Excellence Dr. Genaw, and Carlin are at the one on W. Grand Blvd..

In the Suburbs Henry Ford Hospitals also have the surgery there, like in Warren, Michigan.

I went to Harper in 2006, and Dr. Weiner wanted to cut me open like a fish, and in exchange I would recieve a free Tummy Tuck ! I said no, I would rather have it done Laparoscopically.

So I saw a specialist at the U of M, for something else, and he recommended Henry Fords. Said they have the Monopoly on it.

So if anyone is in the state or area, or willing to travel to Detroit. Check them out.

Shirley.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
