Well I did it. It took me months of soul searching worry and research to get to the point of saying to Dr Russell....LET'S DO THIS!!! I remember waking up the morning after and just feeling this huge feeling of excitement. I was on my way to a healthier and happier me and I just knew I'd done the right thing. I was very surprised at the lack of pain I felt. I mean it was a bit uncomfortable if I moved the wrong way or tried to do something too fast but really it was relatively painfree. The only downside so far is the fluids but I know I'm on the days countdown to puree heaven lol I started this weighing in at 136.2kg and on day 9 it's 128.4kg. :biggrin1: Rome has it's first brick....

Hi everyone :welldoneclap: My name is Lisa. I'm 37, Married and I live in a small country town in Queensland Australia. I did a lot of research into the lap band and it's effects before deciding it was for me. I was banded on the 21st March 2007. So far things are going well. I recovered fast and feel fantastic. My reasons for being banded were not only to look and feel better but to ensure I'm around for my grandkids. I already have a granddaughter Sophie who is fast reaching 2 years old. But I also have 2 younger boys aged 11 and 4. I want to be around to see their children. Starting this I was 136.2 kg and on day 9 I'm 128.4 kg. I'm almost over the liquid stage THANK GOD and will soon move along to the next. I'm looking at this as one very big exciting life changing adventure. I'm on my way!
