Hi Tracey Have been flooded in for the last week,we also have property. Have to get out today to go and babysit on the central coast! Had my first fill 7 weeks after op, Cant eat white bread but you get over that! have had 3 fills in the last 9 months I dont go every month for clinic visits I can usually tell if I have no restriction.The longer you have the band the better you become at knowing what you need eg:fills I try most foods in small amounts some times they go down ok sometimes they get stuck just remember to chew I can usually tell in the first swallow if the food I am eating is going to be a problem, My favorite at the moment is Vita weet biscuits with cheese and tomato home grown of course!!!!!!! and any thing with a sauce I can eat noodles but another bandster I talk with cant eat them .Weare all different. May be we can catch up when I return from Grandma duties Am down to 75kg (goal set by Dr Peck 70kg ) started at 96kg Going slow and steady dont weigh my self only when at clinic its only a number on a machine, I prefer to take notice of how I feel more than worry about scales Well that was a speech and a half Cheers Ronni

Hi Tracey I had Dr Peck at Port I live West of Wingham on the Mid Nth Coast banded May 2008 and love it! Do you want to chat Ronni

Hi Tammy How are you going? Must be nearly 11 days post op? Looking forward to hearing from you! Ronni

Hi Liond Have been banded for just over 3 weeks and only started to feel good a week ago. Most people dont realise that this op takes a lot out of you and you need to look after yourself,dont rush give your body time to recover ,you are the only one who will know when the time is right. Good luck hope allgoes well for you Ronni:rolleyes2:

:rolleyes2:Hi all Had my surgery on 20th May With Dr Nigel Peck at Port Macquarie Private All going well except for the gas works!!! in my tummy!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How long does this last? Does anyone have the same problem? And the positive spin is that so far have lost 10kg's so far am already feeling different in my self. Like some others I have only told a few select people and find this the best for me. Cheers to all Ronni
