Hi There
I have had really bad relux prior to Christmas, and was vomitign way too much...this has given me pretty bad teeth.... I am constantly brushing them but they arent too great...Need alot of work
Prior to Christmas my reflux was that bad that I was vomiting constantly and ended up wuite dehydrated... I ended up in hospital getting all of my fill taken out and have had to start from the begining again
All I can say is make sure your looking after your teeth and if you have any sort of reflux consult your doctor about it, I wouldnt wish what I went through to my worst enemy.
At the moment all is great though and the weight is starting to come back off
Big Hi Fives to everyone

Hey Tarob, Checked out your photos you are looking fantastic, you must be very happy with yourself.... you got me thinking I should put some of my photos up, so I have they are very embarrasing but I did it, I put them up :cursing:, I noticed in one of your posts you said you lived near Munno Para shops, so do I :scared2:
Its noce to see so many people out here in the same area, does anyone else go to the aquadome very often?? ?Im thinking about doing the aqua aerobics class, wondering if its any good???

Hi everyone
Its been ages since Ive been on here, hope everyone is doing well....sorry I missed the lunch, did it end up happening?
I guess a little updat on whats been happening with me.... Ummm I know we all love a good story :cursing: but...... A few weeks before Christmas my band started to feel so tight (Dr says something just triggered it off) and I had reflux like you wouldnt believe.....Anyways I was feeling crap so the doctor took out 1.5ml out of my band on the Thursday, I was feelign great will the friday night and then it all started.....I was vomiting every other minute, Saturday it got so bad that we called emergency number for Dr Anderson, who in turn told me to meet him at hospital URGENTLY, He took ALL my saline out of my band leaving me empty (OMG what a feeling that is, when it comes out) I had to go almost 3 weeks with no fill :thumbup: Needless to say the weight starting coming on.....I was naughty Anyway so a couple of weeks ago I got 5ml put back into my band, still no restriction.... I got down to 110kg (I was 147kg) though the Doc said not to pay any attention to it cause I was so dehydrated.... well today I weigh 117kg and Im so upset about it , I feel I have let my self down so badly.....But you know I have an appointment tomorrow, so its back to the old Trish Gym junkie again.... Im gonna bet this
Enough of all my babble, I promise to come on here more often and check on everyone else. Its so nice to have people going through the same things that you can complain to :cursing:
Big Hi Fives to everyone

Hey Tarob,
The other doctor (Dr Yaega) is lovely too, he works with my hubby, this is how I found out about Dr Anderson. I have never had any problems with all the people that work there....Your in great hands thats for sure :tongue2:
Bet your getting exciting about your op!!!
Im done 28 almost 29kg now :wub: its getting so exciting now :eek:
Cheers Trish

I have told evryone that asks how i lost weight that Ive had a little help in the lap band, but at the end of the day I havent lost 28kg overnight, its taken a lot of hard work.....I still have a good 60kg to lose and Id be damned if I couldve done it without the lap band........
I dont think a lap band is cheating at all, we have been given an opportunity to help us get us on our way. What would be cheating is not taking that opportunity!!
I hope everyone is doing well!!
Cheers Trish

Hey Tarob
Have you met Dr Sabine yet???? I love him he is wonderful, I was so scared to have my op until I met him. He made me feel comfortable....so now I make sure I book all my appointments with him.
Off to see him tomorrow :thumbup:

Hey there
I gotta say, and your gonna hear it a million times more. It gets better, it really does. I stopped losing weight for some time but I am finally almost at my sweet spot where the kilos are dropping off. Its so exciting to be seeing it come off......
I have a hard time sometimes staying away from the wrong foods but Im getting there. Just think the better you eat the quicker youll see results.
Ive lost to date 27kg and Im so excited that Im pumped to lose more :thumbup: You can do it, I know you can, In fact we can all do
keep us posted on how your going
Cheers Trish :sneaky:

HI everyone
I had my surgery on May 14th 09 and have lost a total of 23kg since the end of March, though weight lose has really slowed down, but the cm's are coming off, which is a little more exciting at the moment
For the last couple of weeks, I have had rapid hair loss, Is this normal?? I have quite healthy hair but its coming out at an alarming rate....getting a bit worried. Anybody got any good ideas to help this?????
Hope everyone is doing well.....big hi fives for all of us

Hi everyone
Just popping in to say
I got my second fill yesterday 2ml, at the moment still dont feel any changes, have to go back in two weeks for another fill, Doctor told me I have quite a large band so Im not even sure how many mls it will take. 7ml so far
I hope the restriction kicks in soon
-
I went through Dr Anderson at Ashford he charges only $2600 as a facitlity fee, no other charges for appointments etc
I paid $50 excess on my medical insurance for the hospital stay....
I would recomment Dr Anderson and all his assistant surgeons, I thin they are wonderful and always willing to answer any questions you may have :thumbup:

Hey Guys,
Leah - my pain - ummm nope not constipated have realy been thinkign about it, and yep I reckon its gas....well Im hoping I feel much better today though still not 100% Im just thankful its not as sore as it was yesterday :scared2:
I cant wait to get down to a 16 I would be so happy with that :tongue2: Ive got a long way to go, lets just hope all my hard work at the gym is going to pay off soon :thumbup:
Congrats Leah for your weightloss, you are doing an amazing job :thumbup::bored:
I know Ive said this a million times but I am so greatful for this website and all the support everyone gives, you all are truly amazing people.....I dont think I wouldve went through with my surgery if it werent for the things Ive read on here :smile2:
Anyways, just a quick,. just got home fromt the gym and a nice spa.....time for some rest

I almost forgot
The cow (mother in law) was at my house the other night, she constantly goes on about how she is a size 14 and how much weight she lost and blah blah blah, she picks up her jacket and what do you know the size on the tag says 18 hahahahahahaaha,
Silly woman......I dont see why she lies about it :thumbup:
Im ahppy to say that I used to be a size 26 and now am down to a 22, Im not going to lie about my size

Hey Leah,
My pain is more the lower part of my abdomen, its more a constant pain, kinda like period pain (sorry if theres any guys reading) Im hoping its only gas, am tempted to give the doc a call tomorrow if the pain doesnt go away....
Im so glad its not just me getting the pains, I have so much running through my head its scary
My weightloss is pretty good, though I seem to be stuck on the same thing now for the last few weeks....:thumbup: I work my butt off in the gym and nothing seems ot be happening on the scales...Though I gotta say the clothes are getting really loose. Its amazing to wear a pair of jeans to work and be able to pull them down without undoing the zipper
Im looking forward to my next fill I hope to get a lot more restriction than what I have now...
I had my first sick moment about a week ago, I brought hubby a cheeseburger and decided I wanted to try some chips, had a couple and threw up :thumbup: its strange how some things affect you nad others dont.
How are you going anyway Leah?? I ennjoy reading all your posts you seem to be going really well.....You go girl!!!!
Its all just too exciting sometimes i think:tongue_smilie:
-
Hi Everyone hope you are all doing great :thumbup:
Leah hope you can help me out here, have you had any days where you have really bad stomach pains, I woke up this morning and had pains all over my tummy, not sure what it is.....guess maybe it could be Im working too hard in the gym. Just wanted to know if that happens to all of us or should I be worried
I go for my 2nd fill on july 1 (had to change dates) hubby has to go in for day surgery...... Im hoping that this fill will make me fuller wuicker because I still dont get full all that much and I have over 5ml in my band...
Down to about 22kg gone now, the last few weeks have been really hard but Im getting there, Have got a long way to go
High fives to everyone
Cheers Trish

Hey there
I work in an office, sitting around pretty much all day, I had my surgery on the Thursday and was back to work on the Monday.
I was a little uncomfy on the first day but after that I was fine, now a month in I cant even feel the band anymore, its great

Hey MsJess
I went back to the gym after about 2 weeks, just took it easy for about a week, have only just started to really get into it. I love the gym, I hated not being able to go for that 2 weeks......Was at the gym this morning for about and hour and a half
The liquad stage is pretty hard, but just think how great its going to be when all the weight starts falling off
I went nuts shopping today :thumbup: Its so nice to fit into nicer clothes now
Whereabouts in SA is everyone from? Im from Blakeview
Am I the only person from the northern suburbs?? :blushing:

Hey Everyone
Hope everyone is doing well :thumbup:
MsJess, I got banded on May 14th by Dr Anderson @ Ashford Hospital, I started my pre op early, but my 20kg Ive ost since the end of March so I guess just over 2 months. Just before the op I was at 13kg but 2 weeks after the op I hit 20kg ( ahahah a gold bangle in store for me from my hubby now ) I was on liquads for 2 weeks after the surgery then mushies, was supposed to be finishing the mushies at the end of next week, but the doctor told me on Thursday that I should start my solids on Monday
The liquad stage wasnt too bad though it was only 2 weeks and for about half of that I was swollen so I could eat (well drink) much anyway so that helped. Im so excited to start eating properly on Monday. I have been craving a cheese sandwich and roast for months now.
I did my first body jam class on wed night hahahaha it was funny but a great workout, Have gone back to the gym 4 times a week now.....I love it, have turned into a bit of a gym junkie :tt1::biggrin:
Hey Tarob, I was petrified before my surgery, so scared that I started writing out letters to my loved ones in case I died, and notes for my husband eg, what our son has in his lunch box everyday I know its easy for people to tell you theres nothing to worry about, but you have to feel that for yourself. This website helped me through so much, just reading through peoples stories etc. Yeh everyone is different but you dont see many bad stories on here Ive noticed its great......Also being that your going through the same doctor as I did, his assistant surgeon Dr Sabine is just gorgeous he made me feel comfortable on my last appointment before surgery that most of my worries and aniexty went away :eek: You'll be in great hands, its gonna come around so quickly And as for that cow at your work, bloody hell she must be related to my cow of a mother in law, go on give her a big bitch slap :cursing: heheheh Im evil :cursing: She of all people should know what it feels like........Just know that you are a better person than she is :cursing:
