Hi everyone!

I've had the band for about a year and a half now and its hard to talk about it with family and friends because they don't seem to get the full depth of it. Don't get me wrong they are all very supportive but just can't relate to my eating ways and how slow I eat ahahah

How's everyone dealing/coping with the band?

Just wanted to chat to a few people who's going through the same thing :)

I'm in the Eastern burbs of Melbourne and I got my original band in 2008 and a replacement band 2 months ago. Happy to chat with any fellow Victorians. I was originally from WA and made a few banded friends there so hoping to do the same here in Melbourne.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
