Definately well done Nigel. I only hope I have the same success that you have had. I will keep in contact to let you know my progress and incase I have any questions! Josh.

Hey all, My surgery is costing just over $9000 out of pocket. I have no private health insurance and I am having it done in a public hospital as a private patient. I know its a lot of money but I think its a small price to pay. I withdrew the money from my super to pay for it. I can thoroughly recommend this - there's a bit of a hassle involved, but it means you can get it done even if you don't have the cash laying around! Josh.

Hi all, Thanks again for all your words of support. I have been there and done Tony Ferguson, and never want to taste another TF shake again! I am going to give Optifast a try, despite everyone's dislike of it! lol. I figure that its the means to an end and I will just persevere. Its only 2 weeks! Will keep you all posted on my progess after 1st Jan!! Take care, Josh.

Thank you so much for your kinds words and encouragement, it really means a lot. I was having a bit of a downer last night! I am starting Optifast on 1st Jan, which just happens to be new years day so I thought I would make it a new year challenge. Firstly to stick to optifast, and then to get to my goal weight of 100kg. You have both had your bands in very recently and it gives me great encouragement that you have lost so much weight in the short time since, that is so fantastic. I will definately be around here chatting with you, and will more than likely sending a PM when I am having a hard time! Thanks again, Josh.

Hey all, My name is Josh and I am from Brisbane. I am 29 and weigh 160kg. I have always been big and am just about at wits end. I am finally having my lap band op on 14th January and I can't wait! I am hoping to have some support either online or a support group around Brisbane. I am a litte nervous but very excited about how it is going to change my life. I can't wait to go out in public without people staring at me, to buy clothes in a 'normal' shop, to be able to go to Dreamworld and actually go on the rides! It might seem like I am whinging but its excites me that I will be able to do all these things and more! Hoping to chat to you soon, Josh.
