Hi,

I had my Roux-en-Y done by Dr Potgieter in Cape Town in 2007. We have an active support group in our area and on Face Book. How are things up in JHB??

regards

Helen

I'm American but I'm living in Johannesburg for work. I had sleeve surgery about a year ago in the States, and am going back there to have a revision surgery to bypass because of severe GERD. But, I'll be back here after that for four years! I'd love some tips from you guys on Protein shakes/bars and food in general here. The brands are all different and you use kj instead of calories so it's a bit of a struggle sometimes. Anyways, glad to see there's a SA thread!

      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!
