Recommended Posts

Hello to everyone, I was banded in Sydney on the 27th Sept 2005. I've only lost 9kg. I went back last week & had a fill.(5wks over due) I now have 2.5mls in my band. Hopefully now I will start loosing again.

I have a quick question for Jodie. Did you have to get all your fill taken out when you became pregnant ? ?:preggers:

Well done to you on your web site. I read it last nite. Very interesting...

Glad to of found this site.

start weight 27-9-05 136.5kg

Thanks for your warm welcome Parvathi.

Just so you know, Bathurst & Orange is around 3hrs west of Sydney over the Blue Mountains past Lithgow. You may of heard of the V8 car races they have in Bathurst around the October long weekend....

Would love to hear of anyone from around this area, well from any area really. Till next time, happy banding

Trish

Hi Trish,

I was expecting to have my fill taken out, but because I had been gaining (badly needed a fill) my surgeon said I was ok, and infact offered to give me a small fill if I really wanted to. He was pleased that I didn't want to have a fill though. I need a fill many months before I became pregnant but couldn't get to my surgeon at the time.

Thanks for your comments on my site. I really do need to update it, but I guess I have put it on hold cos I want to make a new one.

Congratulations on your loss so far, and you will find that your fill should make a difference. Slow is better than not at all!:)

Hi Trish

I am not really that close, I am about 2 hrs off Sydney in Newcastle. My other half is actually is Bathurst as we speak working away again...always away working *sigh* ;).

As fir only losing 9kgs, thats 9kgs gone forever, and until you are properly restricted the band isnt really working its full potential for us. Proper restriction and a bit of exercise *like I can talk* and wahlahhhh you are on your way.

Hope to see you around more.

Hi Kellie,

Was good to hear from you. I had a look at your web page & it's very helpfull. How on earth did you find the time...

You have done so well on your weight loss, congratulations. You seem like the kind of person that would be a lot of fun (on or off the drink) lol.

It's a pitty you live in Newcastle, would of been a scream to catch up on each others stories over a cuppa (bit far to travel just for a cuppa)

I rang the Dr yesterday & i'm back down to Ashfield next Thursday for my 4th fill. I have 2.5mls at the moment. So here's to better restriction, & wahlahhh, i'll be on my way..........Hope your better half is home real soon

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
