New to the forum but not a new bandit.. A lonely bandit..



Recommended Posts

Hi all, just thought I'd sort of introduce myself..

I'm Erynn, In Mildura, Victoria. I was banded June 2008. Awesome to see everyone doing so well on here, if you don't have a support group you can go to, this is the next best thing!

Hopefully it can be my next best thing as I can't seem to find anyone else here from Mildura and I never had a support group...

So if you are from Mildura, Speak up! Would love to hear from you! :)

Cheers Everyone!

Thanks both of you. It'll be good to be able to come here with my queries and worries to see if other have experienced them before rushing off to the phone to call my surgeon. I think I should have found this earlier.. Early days weren't too easy on me, some support would have been nice!

Thanks again though. :thumbup:

      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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
