G'Day from Down Under!!!



Recommended Posts

Hi... never posted one of these before... but hello to you all... I was banded on 19th August 08, and lost 11 Kgs prior to banding.. I am now down another 3.5 Kgs since... My first fill appointment is not until mid October so it will be interesting if this 'satiety' lasts till then. Funny feeling.. your brain says you are full.. your tummy does not believe it and seems to be grumbling because it can't find anything. Had the seemingly

usual wind/gastic pains but in general not too bad.... cannot sleep on my tummy though... and when I tried it last night the pain in my chest was

quite vicious.. and has ached a lot since... but that too is improving... I have lost nearly 32 lbs and that is fantastic for me.. so really looking forward to the diminishing size and also to say a big thanks to all the other forum users who are helping me in so many ways just by letting people know what they have been through... CHeers for now.. Trish

Hi Jo... it is all very exciting isn't it... I am amazed at the freedom I am already feeling from not having food rule the roost... I know there will be ups and downs, but even at this early stage I am really happy... I was banded about noon on the 19th with Dr Caska on the Central Coast.. I am 54.5 f and live in Umina.... Cheers for Now, Trish

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
