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

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
