How nice to see that there is someone in Tallahassee! Congrats on your decision. Where will you be having your surgery? I will be banded on Sept. 3 in Colorado with Dr. Kirshenbaum. I also live in Tallahasssee and have been looking for someone local to share our experiences with. Welcome!

Hi! I will also go to the nutritionist on 8-5-08 in Tallahassee. Are you using Dr. Crooms? I'm so glad to find someome close by. Good Luck! After the psych what else will you need to have done? I've already had that and was wondering what else is left to do.

Hi Tally,

I am scheduled to be banded in Sept by Dr. Kirshenbaum. I live in Ft. Myers. Any pointers/suggestions? How do you handle fills?

Thanks

What date will you be banded? I am going on the 3rd! I have priced everywhere and it seems like it is less costly to go back to CO to Dr. K so that is what I will do, at least for now. If it's going to cost me the same I might as well stick with the surgeon performing the surgery.

Hi Melann,

Nice to meet another person inthe area. I will be going to CO. since I am self pay but I live in Tallahassee and would love to stay in touch. When is your surgery? I called Dr. Crooms to see if he would do my fills but they said no way! Oh well, it would have been nice.

Yes I am using Dr. Crooms. I haven't been approved yet, but heard that BCBS is pretty good about approving...I don't know though. I have everything left to do! Feels like it takes for ever to get things done.

      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!
