then click on surgeon locators on the top of the page, put in Seattle and start calling. I know there are a few who will take Mexico patients as one of my band sisters lives in Seattle and has had her fills in Seattle, I do not know his name though. Before you go to Mexico, get it all lined up first. I have seen many men & women not line up aftercare in their area and have had no chhoice but to go back to Mexico for fills & aftercare. Many US docs will not take patients banded in Mexico and the ones that do, charge a fortune! Good Luck

I totally agree with Michelle, and remember, fills is not always the only thing you may need with banding. Sometimes there are emergencies, such as overfills or slippage which you'd want to have seen about ASAP. If one can't afford to fly to MX on a moment's notice, a local follow up Dr is imperative. Also, some SAY they will see someone, but don't follow through afterwards, especially if there are any complications. You need to see this person and become established as a patient of theirs BEFORE you've been banded. Good luck!

      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!
