Im Back!!



Recommended Posts

After 18 months of wishing for it I finally got my band on Wednesday. All went ok. I drove hme to Geraldton on Thursday, probably not such a good idea as I was extremely nauseas and was struggling to stop vomiting. Im feeling good today a little uncomfortable but nothing I cant handle. Its funny I feel like a drain when I drink I can hear it swirling around before it goes down the hatch.

Im very happy my new chapter has started.

Congrats Nat,

Just remember sip, sip, sip and slowly does it - isn't the gurgling wonderful - especially if watching a movie and it happens at the most dramatic part.

Hey Nat,

Congrats! I was banded on 19th too. I don't know how you managed getting back to Geraldton, I struggled with the 20min drive home to our place! I have been feeling pretty shoddy since then. Today is the first day I've started feeling a bit better. SHoulder tip pain sucks. Anyway, off to have a shower and attempt a walk down the driveway!

Hey Emma were you in the childrens ward too? I seen a lady wondering around in blue pj's was that you? I was thinking how brave she was when I was laying flat on my back in la la land she was doing laps of the ward.

Haha I don't know if I was in the children's ward! I was on the Bridget Clancy ward if that helps. And yep I was in blue PJ's. I did ONE lap of the ward and that was enough for me!!

Hi Ausgirl, the drive home was probably a bit stupid as it was the journey from hell but I felt like I had to get home to my kids for good friday. I was also so glad to be home in my own bed.

We were in St Johns Murdoch and it might sound weird but apparently the kids ward was a nicer place to be (or thats what the nurse told me) the kids all seemed to disappear after an hour of being there so it was all good.

      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!
