My wife and sons just arrive at the hospital after an 800 km drive from yogyakarta to jakarta
they both looked at me and said enuf - no more surgery - and im inclined to agree
at my age -57 - the strain will kill me
after 2 years with the band i know how to eat properly and exercise properly - i can do it myself with proper support from those that love me
it was a life saving operation but the next one will kill me for sure
wish me luck on my journey as i wish all of you the same on yours
i will let u know how i get on from time to time
all the best from indonesia
warren, didin, dira and aryani
(im crying as i write this and not ashamed to say so)

Yesterday i went for a check up with my Doctor - coming up to the second anniversary of being banded on 11 Nov
After an endoscopy it was found the band had eroded into my stomach
Result - today a permanent removal of the band will happen
The sad thing is that I am only half way to my goal
I have been a success story for the Gading Pluit hospital here in Jakarta and for chief surgeon and lap band pioneer Dr Barlian Sutedja - a pin up boy for banding in Indonesia
Dr Barlian was almost as upset as I was yesterday. He will be providing the removal free of charge and in February next year will do the gastric sleeving for me - also free of charge
What can I say about this wonderful man and his extraordinary team that has saved my life?
I love them all!!
3 hours until surgery - wish me "bon chance"

If fat was gold I would have dropped over $2,000,000 in value based on current values
