Hi Dawn I'm also going to see Dr Hii. I'm getting a revision from failed band to mini bypass. I live around half an hour from you, would love to hear your experiences. Sent from my SM-G900I using the BariatricPal App Hello, good to hear from you.. you are not that far away. Mr Hii is a wonderful surgeon. I am again suffering GERD and I had a gastroscopy Monday, performed by Dr Adam Cichowitz in Wangaratta. I have another hiatus hernia and severe reflux esophagitis.. I see Dr Cichowitz on the 5th of r he next move for me. I am taking Nexium and it is not helping.. Dawn Oh no you poor thing hope they can get it sorted soon.Do you have much restriction? Sent from my SM-G900I using the BariatricPal App Hello What do you mean by restriction? As in what sort of foods I can eat? regards Dawn Yes and how about portion size? Sent from my SM-G900I using the BariatricPal App I am pretty much unrestricted on foods except I do get dysphagia from bread, red meat and rice. v much much smaller than I used to eat. I find if I eat sweet things they do not agree, dumping syndrome has been an issue here. When are you for surgery? Is at at Royal Melbourne?

HI Nymea I noticed Peter Nottle did your RNY.. He did 3 nissen fundoplications on me, each one failed. I had severe Gerd and a mixture of Hiatus and paraeosphegeal hernias. My first fundoplication lasted 4 months, the second 5 months and the 3rd 11 months. I hope your op went well. Kind regards Dawn -
Hi Jackie we do not have Walmart in Australia. A lot of American products are unfortunately not available here. Dawn
