Midijola

Hi Mellyphat, I went through Medibank and out of pocket expense was close to $4000. But I withdrew from my super to pay my excess. It wasnt difficult to do so really all I have had to pay for is follow ups and fills. Good luck....DI DOB 10/4/07 Starting weight: 115kg Current weight: 95.8kg

Hi there Utahns, I thought I would :popcorn:in and say Hi! I had my first fill last week and I lost almost 10lbs. Man I feel like the "biggest loser" :confused: I think tho the little bit of restricition I had is starting to wear. I shall see how my 2nd week progresses. Its a holiday weekend here and we are headed out of town I cant wait! I am so stoked with my results from my first fill! :clap2: Take care....your aussie pal Di

Hi there Utahns!!! Jessica I am doing Grrreat!!! Thanks for asking! How are you? I really am surprised how well I have pulled through. I saw my surgeon last Monday for my 2 week post op visit and he said everything looks good. I asked him when i can start playing hockey again (field hockey, I am very slow but still have some skills! LOL) he said when I feel up to it either this week or next. I went to practice this week and took it easy, seamed OK and so i played today. All my team mates cant believe I had surgery 2 and a half weeks ago and am playing a rough sport! So I am happy. I have lost this week 1.5 kg (3.3 lbs) I just cant seem to only weigh in once a week. My official weigh in is Monday, and it isnt often that I say "I cant wait to weigh in?!?!?!?" Anyway, thanks for letting me pop in here. Salt Lake is my second home. Its possible I might be coming out in January. Which will be great, freezing but great!!! Take care fellow bandits!!! Your Aussie pal.......Di PS: Wen I had to do 4 wks on a VLCD and so I did Optifast. It is tough the 1st few days but your body will go into starvation mode. I lost 8kg in that time (almost 18lbs). My only advice drink lots and lotsa Water. That will help fill you up. Good luck it is worth it!!

Hi Karen and Sandy, Thanks for your warm welcome. Man what a hectic week I have had!! I am a student, and have had assignments due and exams this week. Being only less than 2 weeks post op it has been tough. Glad its over now so I can get back to things I enjoy....like visiting you here on the world of chat. This week with the band has been alright. I need to get onto a routine again tho. I have my 2 week check up on monday...not sure what he will say but will also see the dietician. As to your coupla questions Sandy, I lived mostly in Murray. I worked at Dillards. I was not a student in UT but am one now. My husband grew up in Murray. Utah is my second home I love it there......however, there is no place like home and home for me is here in OZ. Take care fellow bandits, I will drop in again soon! Di :nervous

Hi there Utahns, I am 6 days banded and so far so good. I have a confession, I am not a Utahn but I lived there for 5 yrs and travel back there often. I am an Aussie and live in Australia. My husband is from Murray. I belong to an Aussie messenger board and have been googling and came here. I hope you dont mind but I would love to visit here too. We expect to move back to Utah in a few yrs so i will love to read about the different Drs and different things and ways you guys do things compared to here. Anyway, catch ya later! Di
