hi John, where the fills painless? when were you banded? mine was 2 weeks ago.

hi Bel, thanks for replying, in total i need to loose another 28kg, for me to be happy but the Doc said that my goal weight is to loose around the 35 kg. how long did it take you to loose the 45 kg. i am going to dr bowden on tuesday hopefully will get my first fill...
-
did you loose the weight you wished too? have you maintained it? i have 27 kg to loose. i have lost 8 so far since pre-op. it was funny because when i got out of hospital i weighed more than before i started the pre-op had a bit of a stress attack but was quickly re-assured by Jenny (dr bowden's) nurse that this was normal. fortunatley quickly lost it.

yea both seem really good, i have only had the band for 2 weeks so very early stages but the team at Dr Bowden is great.

i was banded on the 18th April by Dr Blair Bowden also - he seems to be very good. i have my first post op consultation on Wednesday.
