Hello Australian bandsters

I was banded in Perth Wednesday 05/09 and have used this site as my major source of info and support since I decided to go along this path to get my life back. I have been trying to get my profile to show me as Australian. The darn thing won't let me register without an American State!:tt2:

Can anyone out there let me know how I should go about registering, rejoining the forum or whatever so that I am listed as an Aussie?:wink::confused::crying:

Thanks a heap

Hello James, Ive had mine over a year ago now the first couple of month's are a little uncomfortable and a lot to get use of, I was just having mornay's & Soups but boy did the weight drop off..! the day i had it done i nearly dropped out so many times omg if it wasnt for the support of my hubby luke i wouldnt have done so! So im hoping you will have some sort of support with you on the day...everything will be fine, you will get thru this and wonder what your worrying about.....be proud, happy its the change of life we are looking for!! if theres anything your needing to talk about email me :)

      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!
