What I like about Mezt/Brown is that they include nutritionists and physcologists, also they have support goups every third Wednesday. The PA's do my fills. I am especially fond of Allison, this week she spent 1/2 hour talking to me about my hormone issues and always is happy and friendly. After going to my doctor yesterday, I learned that she was right on with figuring out what was wrong with me, without seeing the blood work that the doctor drew.

Most people are happy with who ever they pick, but you do want to know that you are important and that they give you the time and attention you need.

I was banded in Mexico by dr ortiz, the last thing they told me before going under was "This is a place of God and of healing!"

I would be happy to answer any questions that you have.

I had surgery with Dr. Tillquist last june and had a great experience with the surgery. I did experience frustration initially when I was trying to get insurance approval. It seemed to take a long time to get it submitted 7 weeks or so. I was denied and then decided to self pay. I submitted an appeal and my insurance is going to reimburse me so it all worked out.

Dr Tillquist is not the best! My almost killed my mom by putting hole in her bowel. He missed it four three days on the day he was sending her home I ask the nurse to call another Dr and he took one look at her and took her back into surgry. They saved her but she was in coma for 45 days. My mom lost over 100 lbs and said she would do it all agine. I am having lab band done in a few weeks Dr Brown him and support staff are great.

      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.

      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.
