nearly 40kg (80lbs) gone

I have had an interesting journey but you can hear all about it at www.beenabeena.blogspot.com   I am nearly at 1 year banded and am down a fair bit of weight. It is really nice to be in smaller sizes and not have to shop at the bigger girls stores anymore. That I would have to say has been the highlight. I do have really yucky legs and breasts from the skin that once was filled with fat. i had every intention of getting this all fixed until I recently went in for a restitch of a flipped port

My lapband and my thoughts on it to date

I have now been banded for 3months and with pre op diet i have lost a total of about 27kg (60lbs) It has been a hard journey from drinking Optifast for 1 month to having the operation and being in pain for 3 weeks but I sit here and feel fantastic. Im nearly half way to my goal weight and people are really strating to notice the change in my body. I can now start to fit into clothes at "main stream shops" and dont have to find the big girl stores. I cant wait until i can give up my email subscri

7 deaths i n Victoria

Today I was watching our local news and a report came up about how there had been 7 deaths in Victoria regarding the band! Of course within 1 minute my mum called me in a total state of panic! I was so sure I was going to do this and still am but that still plays in your mind! I figure that I m going to die anyway with this extra weight sooner then i planned so i need to take the small risk and do this because in 28 years so far nothing has worked....I have heard great stories from other Ausssie

I have managed to make a few calls today with the dietition and the physicion that the surgeon reccomended for me (man I cant spell today) Im not thinking straight!!!Anyway you get the drift! Either way I really know in my heart that something needs to be done about my huge weight problem that has been haunting me forever! I remember the days when I was 100kg (about 220l

New life

At a very large size i have a big decision to make. Today I finally took the first step and made it to my first appointment to meet the suregon. He seemed really nice and Im hoping that all goes well. The next step is to see a dietision and another doctor who will assess me.   Im hoping that there are no regrets but it is something I need to do.:eek: ..... but its doing my head in.

As the year goes ahead and as i get more advanced and educated with my band I will answer as many questions as i can cheers!

TO TELL OR NOT TO TELL THAT IS THE QUESTION LETS DEBATE???

:kiss Yes here is a debate for the bansters !!! Do you tell everyone or those close to you? or do you keep your mouth shut completly? Do you need the support or will you feel as though that you are being watched like a hawlk? Me personally feel that its no ones business but my own! My husband is there to support me and he doesnt judge me! I feel if I tell my mother and father and sisters and brothers things could get out of hand!! Im at the point now where the lapband is my last resort and if a
