56 days til the banding!!



Recommended Posts

Im Chloe Im 18 from Australia and overweight. My Mum got a lapband 10years ago and has now lost 30kilos. I've always been big but I've now realised there is no non-surgical solution for me other than more weight gain and trust me i have tried! So on July the 30th I am booked in for the lap band.I cant wait. FIFTY SIX DAYS!! :nervous

The thought gives me hope and a real release from alot of sadness that being a young overweight person has caused.

i hope to meet other young people in my situation or who have had the lap band.:clap2:

Cloe, welcome and congratulations on your surgery date. I think it's a great idea having it done young. You have a whole new life ahead.

Hi Chloe, I am Susannah and I live in Melbourne.I was banded in February, and I reckon it was the best decision I have ever made. Good luck with it. Where are you getting banded?

I am getting banded at The Avenue hospital Windsor by Professor Paul O'Brien. I've got rave reviews about him and he also did my Mum's operation years and years ago!

Im very grateful for all your support & Im very happy to have found someone in Melbourne!

How long have you been banded and where did you get yours done?

      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!
