Hi Sally,

I also go to Holland Barixs Clinic with Dr. Schram and I had my surgery in Ypsilanti becuz they do not have a surgical center in holland? but my fills and consultations and things like that are done in Holland. I live in Dorr and my story about the Band really isnt too successful I had it in Sept of 07' and have only lost about 30lbs :) in 9 months at one point I did ask Dr. Schram about a revision to the Gastric Sleeve but he said it is just like the Band and he said lets make the band work!!! Alot of it and I mean Alot of it is my fault I have a HUGE addiction to Regular Pop and I really dont know why I cant let it go!!! All I wanted for the longest time was to have the Band and then when it happened I'm not giving it my all? So that is pretty much my story boring!!! So whats your story? How come you had the surgery in Mexico? When? and How much are you down? Let me know

Take care hope to hear from you soon,

Angel

      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.

        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!
