Recommended Posts

hi, has anyone ever gone to be banded by dr de bruyne and he has found an ulcer or a haitus hernia "apparently we get them because we are so fat" so if he found a complication like that could he deal with it then and there

many thanks

Not sure you would need to email his general manager - Frederik and ask him for some advice.

HTH

Dr Chris and his team are fantastic!

Hi. Dr Chris de bruyne said that one in three obese people have an hiatus hernia he will repair it but if you know you have one he would like an X-ray. Why don't you email his general manager Frederick serneels at Belgium surgery services.

Cakey - I'm pretty sure that Garry on this forum had a hernia. Dr Chris found it when doing his op and repaired it free of charge. I'm not sure if Garry's been on here lately but you could PM him. Dr Chris is also a general surgeon so is well equipped to deal with these kind of complications. x

Had my second fill done in London last Thursday by Fred, so now have 5 ml.

Cant say it feels any different except food and drink now 'gurgles' when it is going down lol.

I am like a few on here in that all my weight lost so far was in the first couple of weeks after surgery and I have only lost 2lb over the last month, so feeling a bit dissapointed, but was ready for this happening as I know from reading on here that it has also happened to quite a few others.

I have always had it in my mind not to expect anything until at least my third fill, which I have booked for 25th November in London. :thumbup:

Hello

Seems a bit better but oh boy it hurts like crackers in the middle of my back where it's just feels like it is stuck. Lots of PB and I have lost quite a lot of the liquid that I have been having. Small sips or tiny sucks through a straw. Really not very pleasant.

So quick update managed a cuppa Soup last night seems to respond better to hot/warm rather than cold/icy.

Again managed to have de-fizzed lucozade last night and felt less shaky after 4 days of no food.< /p>

Had a cuppa soup today at school and that went down well but cold is really not helping as I have to throw up.

This may be TMI but has anyone else experienced this and when they were sick had brown bits in the sick or flecks of blood? All a bit worrying really. But do feel a little better so think I shall persevere and not have a de-fill yet.

Do you think it will loosen off with time?

Take care

Claire

p.s. good news is that I am half a pound shy of losing 3 stone so very happy!:thumbup:

Hey you! How are you doing? How's your weight loss and have you had another fill?

Today could have been better but I have got through it. Just worried in case I am causing any damage to the stomach by not getting a de-fill.

I am managing to get cuppa Soup down but beef broth didn't want to stay put. Also when I drink it feels like it is pooling in my chest! Very bizarre sensation.

Anyway hope all well in your camp. When's baby due?

Take care

Claire x

      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 had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
