Recommended Posts

I usually have Dr. R give me the fills b/c he's awesome. The PA is really nice to me and supportive, but she stuck me wrong one time and I'm a bit of a shot weenie. So if Dr. R is there, I have him do it. Plus a bit of me is saying hmmm I pay $70 a fill so he can do it! lol

I'm just about at my sweet spot, if not there right now. So I won't go back for at least 2 months.

I get my fills standing up? What do you do?

I believe the reason I haven't lost faster is b/c of me. I'm struggling right now with what to eat for lunch and such? I'm getting bored, so I tend to not be good all the time. Bad Lori!

Did you know he partnered with Dr. Baker (plastic surgeon) and are opening an office in Champaign. I think it's cool. Cause if I ever lose enough to need plastic surgery I'd go to Dr. Baker. :thumbup:

I have never had a problem with my fills and her. I don’t blame you for having him do them! Plus he is cute! LOL I was private pay so I don't have to pay for a year of fills and I think I am where I want to stay at 9cc's, I keep debating if I should go back for one more check before my year in August.

I do my fills lying down. I am still real numb around my port so it just feels weird not really a hurt just strange.

I have not heard about him teaming up with Dr. Baker! I too will need some plastic surgery after I get all my weight off! My arms and stomach are already bad!

I too struggle with what to eat. I had not lost anything for a month and just kept snacking on my kid’s leftovers and not watching what I ate! I have found that chips go down easy and had a bad habit of eating chips and dip for lunch! NOT A GOOD IDEA! LOL Yep, my slow weight loss is just my bad habits! I just wish there was a support group close! I make that comment every time I go in!

Hey team! I'm freshly banded and living in Charleston. I know this is an old forum but I'm hoping some newer people from the area will see it. :)

I would love to start a local support group for the Mattoon/charleston area for weight loss patients. I just have not found that many people who are in our area. I was banded on june 17th of 2010. Best decision I ever made. I have lost 168 lbs to date. I have 30lbs to go till my goal weight. Let me know if you would like to work together and get a support group up an running. Just message me here and I will get it.

      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!
