Recommended Posts

hey ya'll hows it going, in my posts a few months ago I swore to u all I was going to die and I was a very sick little gurl, couldnt eat anything my body rejected all the medication, fainting, I looked gaunt, pail and ill, I was dehydrated and malnurished...So went in to have the band taken out.......then they did a ultra sound of my stomach and guess what?

I had gall stones........1000's of them little ones and massive ones...12 months I was pretty much in agony for...it was the crappiest time of my life. I Was 160 kilos and I got down to 79 in that time...

I have 1mill in my band now and since january I am back upto 87 kilos, I am going to get more fill in my band BUT I just needed time to recover, remember what it was like to be alive and well and eat and just be happy, its now april and Im feeling the goodness of life again.

Did it scare me? hell yes...did I think I had made the biggest mistake of my life...oh god yeah, but u know at the end with being so sick I seriously didnt have the energy anymore...

So just in case ur experiencing pain and they think its ur band, the pain I had was MASSIVE I would end up in hospital... massive pain after anything I ate I got it in my ribs and in my back, they knew the muscle

around my ribs was inflammed but like they thought it was from my band.

Soooooooooo thats me so far...

:D

hope everyone is doing well.

Take care.

Love

Simmah..........

oh p.s. when i did have the gall bladder out I found it hard to eat I was soooooooooo scared of getting fat again lol though im dissapointed on putting on the wieght I have now its Ok, cuz I will loose it again, but like isnt that wierd I spend my whole life being a food addict then Im to scared to eat, well im not now lol.

xoxoxoxoxoo.

Gosh, what an ordeal. I wouldnt be at all happy that it took so long to diagnose gallstones, just from what you've said there, its quite obviously likely. YOu should most definitley not have had to suffer that for so long, a simple ultrasound earlier on would have shown it.

Dont worry about the weight you gained, its not a lot and now you can get your band working for you, you'll lose it again in no time.

Glad you're feeling better and more positive.

Gday Simmah, I had been wondering what had happened to ya mate! What a horrible thing for you.;) I am lucky in that my GB was removed when I was 15 years old, so none of those probs for me.

Come and join us in the Australian section of the board and get chattin!:biggrin1:

      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!
