I was very impressed by Dr Bessell and his team. Very professional :biggrin:

I still have problems with over filling! I eat slow, chew chew chew etc but it always seems to happen... seems to be last 2 mouthfuls that come back up! It is becoming frustrating...

what are your sugar levels like when you get light headed? I felt vague and had low iron... There's a starting point, I am sure Dr Helen can sort it out, I too was banded by Dr Bessell...

I am in SA too. I had my surgery done by Dr Bessell at the Adelaide Obesity Surgery - Dr. Justin Bessell - Adelaide Obesity Surgery, Weight Management, Effective Weight-Loss Surgery, Australia The team there are great, and I was in the Calvery Wakefield for 2 nights. I have lost 12.5kg from February 2009, although my loss isn't fast, it is right for me! Suzie

Lunch is on! Saturday the 17th October at 12 noon. Cafe Palazzo Norwood. I have reserved seats and they are out in the back... seeya there!!!

Cafe Palazzo on the Parade... around 12pm I guess!!

am sure 'lunch' will take a while!!

Lets get this ball rolling!! Saturday 17th, where?

The Saturday or the Monday work with me! Meadows Country Fair on the Sunday... It's a great old fashioned day out! Will be meeting up with a Brisbane Bandit at the fair!

I think it is about time we organised an Adelaide/SA get together! I would love to meet up with some fellow bandsters from SA. lunch somewhere? Or dinner? Any ideas? Location etc. I am in the Hills and I know of others in different areas surrounding Adelaide so finding a spot to suit would be good... Look forward to hearing from you SA Bandsters!

I used steri strips just to keep me happy! they heal better flat too!

try also... Band Buddies they sell chewable vitamins as well as the plates and bowls, and a whole range of easy meals too!!

Sounds like fun! I will have to get my daughter looked after, as my Hubby will be away for work. I am sure if we asked at Dr Bessell's office we could get more people involved, maybe Dr Helen and Dr Bessell themselves?? LOL!

Hmmmm Tempting... let me know more...

Don't rush things! it is important to let things heal. I know it is hard, but worth it in the end... Try mashed potato, and vitamised baked beans and a bit of melted cheese!

Was there today and told you don't work Mondays! You go through User CP up the top and edit signature. If you want to add a ticker go to Graphical Tickers and Trackers: Weight Loss, Trying To Conceive, Pregnancy... and select your ticker and copy the code into your signature! phew! will try to PM you!

Will be in Mt Barker tomorrow Sue, want me to pop in and say hi at the library??

You need to make sure you keep up with the shrink, it helps with the adjustment to less food... It's a hard one though!

Sue, we constantly have late books! Will keep an eye out for you! Good luck with your journey, It seems hard to begin, but it is all worth it!

Hi sue and welcome! I am in Meadows. I go to Contours at Mt Barker, it is great! Might bump in to you one day at Coles!!! Suzie

If they are on Wednesdays I am not able to go... :frown: will ring tomorrow!

Prove the bugger wrong!! :frown:

I think they do it to scare you! Had a similar experience but with exercise, had sprained my ankle quite badly and the doctor told me that was a fat person's excuse for not exercising. He apologized at our next appointment. I felt like crap after too, but was determined to prove him wrong!

Now tell me I am not that silly, the AOS newsletter says that the free seminars are on 2nd Tuesday every Month, but the dates are all for Wednesdays???

I think they are Dr Bessell's favourites! we all seem to have them!
