Hello,

My name is Kelton May, I am a 29 year old male with a starting weight of 317lbs. and a goal of 225lbs. I had my surgery performed on Friday Jan. 9th 2009 by Dr. Chang in Victoria Tx. I am a Corpus Christi resident. I work for the Department of Defense, rebuilding crash damaged and battle damaged hellicopters for the Army, Navy, and the Airforce. I am a 8 year veteran of the US Navy and am super excited to have found this board. Looking forward to posting questions and hopfully answering a few as well.

Thanks again.

Kelly

I am from the CC area as well. I live in Aransas Pass and started seeing Dr McDaniel at Citizens Bariatric but then switched Doctors because of $$ and insurance issue. I was banded Nov 24th in McAllen and have lost about 30 pounds so far and I am loving my band. This is a great website that is full of info. Good Luck to you!!!!

Hello and congratulations on your band.

I live about an hour and a half south of Houston but will be banded in CC on Feb 3 with Dr. Griffin. I'm really excited but nervous all at the same time. I start my pre-op diet on Monday which isn't to bad. Just a low carb to no carb diet.

My starting wgt. is 271 which I hope to loose down to about 165-155 somewhere in that range.

Again congratulations. Tam

      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.
