Adelaide - Councelling & Support

Hi Everyone

I've had some good sucess with my band 40kgs approx over two years.

I still have another 40kgs to get to my goal.

Unfortunatley the last 6 months I havent been able to make a difference with my weight loss.

I'm in the process of changing from band to sleeve (Not decided totally but think thats what I'll choose).

Part of loosing weight is the mental aspect of weight loss and with the band so restrictive I've been having a limit diet.

When I loose my band and move to a sleeve I want to be mentally ready for the challenges ahead.

I have limited private health and a single guy.

Does anyone have suggestions of where to get mental help and support to get myself ready?

I wish money wasnt an issue but it is. I don't mind paying to me I'm investing in my future health but can afford to waste money.

So any assistance would be greatly appriciated.

David

I suggest calling 211 in your area and seeing if they can help you find therapy assitance...

You might try your local college or university if you have one counseling center or program bc many have clincs for low cost ot sliding scale therapy

Hope this helps

      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!
