Hi Lauren, How are you after Monday's surgery? Hope your feeling better and the infection has gone away. What a pain for you I guess you just needt o think it's a small speed bump in your journey and in a couple of months time you will be back cruising along! It's good they were still able to put some saline in before removing your port so you will still have some restriction. Did they know what caused the infection? Thank you for the positive feedback too your have a very positive mindset it'a really comforting! A meet up would be good! I'm in carrum down. Could always meet halfway somewhere. Maybe The Glen? Take care of yourself Hello to Susie if your out there! Been a while hope everythings going ok!

Oh no not another infection you poor thing Did you end up back at the hosp? Hopefully it's all smooth sailing from now on! Congrats on the first fill too YAY! Did you notice any difference/tightening afterwards? I will be doing the look away with the needle I think lol like I normally do during blood tests! As you say though it's more the thought of a giant needle going into your stomach not the nicest of thoughts lol! I'm feeling pretty good about the decision at the moment. I think I'm now worrying most about following a healthy diet and sticking to it forever. As my head is totally not in the right space at the moment and it really needs to be. Have you started solids yet? Another random question with drinking fluids eg. Water can you drink normally or is it just little sips? A meet up would be nice too could help us keep on track and see where we are all at along our journey! We could work out somewhere central!

Hey guys! Just checking in to see how your going as it's been a little while!

Thanks for the replies guys! I don't get banded till the 30th of this month. Would love to have a second bubba and currently know it won't be till I lose this extra weight. I ended up with a disc bulge and pelvic instability after my first pregnancy and know my best chances of not having that pain again is getting rid of this weight!

Hi Susie, MERRY CHRISTMAS! Hope things have settled down at work for you now! Gotta love the world of retail! We went to the boxing day sales today lol didn't last long though way too many people for my liking! How was your Christmas lunch with your family? Did your nephew eat more than you in the end? hehe Well done on the 10kg loss that's fantastic! You must be feeling a difference in your clothes and how you are feeling already. Hope you have a Happy New Year! Wishing you all the best of luck in 2013!

Hey Susie! The Easter challenge sounds good! I will be a late starter but would still be a good first goal to push towards! What would a rough weekly weightloss be once banded? P.S. I LOVE those humpty dumpty smartie egggggs! We used to always get them as kids lol! Yummmm ))) Hope your having a good weekend everyone! I'm off for a nana nap now been up since 5am for work erggghh!

Hi there! Just wondering how you went with the banding whilst pregnant? It didn't cause any problems?

Hi Lozjacko! Not long to go now for you! Were you at the Glen Iris clinic on Tuesday by any chance? I had an appointment there with Mr Stewart Skinner. I have booked myself in for late January. I'm freaking out whether I am making the right decision or not though. In two minds at the moment and its making me sick to my stomach! Would love to keep in touch and see how you are going with it all! I'm 32 and have an 18mth old son. I live in the sth eastern suburbs. Look forward to hearing from you
