Hi, it doesn't look at as though this thread is used that much but I just thought I would add my storey. Like a couple of others on here I was banded in 2010 and managed to lose a lot of weight. I went from 115kg to 72kg. 2 years ago I needed to have some Fluid removed as a result of other health issues at that time and we never again were able to find the sweet spot and I have swung between being so tight I couldn't keep much down at all to having near no restriction. I am now at 95kg and climbing. I am having the mini bypass on the 4th March and I can't weight. I am sick of lugging around excess weight, not being able to feel confident in clothes and letting my weight effect my overall confidence. I have also just moved to Brisbane and finding the heat and humidity very difficult to cope with at this weight. Jus out of interest, how long was the hospital stay for those who have already had it?

Hi I'm new to this thread and having my surgery on 4th March. I'm with DR Victor Liew having the Mini Bypass. I nervous about the recovery but excited as well. I have come to realise that my weight holds me back psychologically and now that I'm working for myself I am desperate to shed my fat skin and let the real me shine through. I'm in Brisbane but having the surgery on the Gold Coast. Looking forward to sharing the journey with you
