Newbie - Banded 4th April



Recommended Posts

Hi

I just wanted to introduce myself. I was banded 4th April in NSW Australia. I stayed in hospital overnight and went home the next day. I went through some depression the next few days wondering what I had done to myself but soon got over that. I also gave up smoking the day I went in for surgery, so that has been hard also.

After about a week I woke one morning and felt really hungry, from then I have had no restriction. I have really had to control myself to not totally binge. I am going to see my DR on Thursday for a fill, i really hope it helps me a bit in keeping the food demons at bay.

Anyway I hope to see you all around more, I love this forum and wish I had discovered when I was first researching.

Hi Kellie,

I was banded on April 8. I don't get a fill for another couple of weeks. My sister lives in Eaton, Western Australia.

Welcome, soon you'll be changing that name to Little Belly Kellie! My mom was banded on the 7th of April. She's gets her fill some time in May.

Hey Kellie-Bellie! I like your screen name! Little Belly Kellie will be nice though, eh? Good one HarleyNana! We have a few Aussie's on the April Bandsters list, so you are in good company! I was banded April 8th and I'm still very restricted. I can't imagine being able to eat just about anything with no restriction! I may never get a fill! And you gave up ciggies? wow. Good for you!

Anyway, welcome to LBT, glad you made it!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!
