Hi Tegan, I'm Annie and I too am from Perth WA. I just had surgery on Monday the 11th of May with Dr Watson. Who was your surgeon? I'm still getting into the swing of things I came home yesterday and I've been pretty good, just tired and having a few problems not being able to burp. I noticed you had your birthday just prior to your surgery mine is tomorrow 3 days after lol... Happy Birthday to us...Anyways congrates to you and I hope things go well.

Annie

Thanks Lellow,

Thanks for that... I know I have problems with my iron levels so I will certainly look into the Clements Iron liquid. I've also been having Berocca . It's hard to find everything you need in just one product though.

It's great that you are able to eat so well without restriction and still have the fantastic results you've had, good on you...

Hi Nat how are you going? I have a question for you regarding multi vitamins, did you take tablet form or liquid and what brand etc did you find to work the best for you? I'm on the search at the moment before I go in for my op. I'm on Swisse women's multi but they are rather big and to be honest I'm just a little concerned to say the least that they could be a problem to swallow. But i haven't come across a liquid multi that covers all vitamins...What did/do you use?

Thanks Annie

Hi Lellow I just wanted to ask you about multi vitamins??? Did you have problems swallowing them after the op or did you turn to liquid multi vitamins?? Im taking womens swisse multi's at the moment but they are very big and I'm just curious about it. What vitamins-brand etc did you take? Any help here would be great...Thankyou Annie

Thanks for your reply Nat. And I certainly have read and heard lots of great things about Dr Watson. Everything at the moment is running fast forward towards my op and I'm just trying to finalise an endocrinoligist to help me through with my meds, I'm on a few bits and pieces when it comes to my medication as well as insulin injections. This I am hoping will soon be a thing of the past once my surgery is done. I feel like my minds in a spin. I just want it done now...Does that make sense??

It's fantastic to hear that you are off your meds and are feeling so healthy, congratulations...

I too am looking forward to that feeling...

Thanks again

Annie

Hi Lellow, I just wanted to say you look great. I'm going in for surgery with Dr Watson on the 11th of May at SJOG's Murdoch an I really look forward to my journey. Who was your surgery performed by? You are an inspiration...Thankyou

Annie...

Hi Nat I'm Annie I noticed that you had your surgery performed by Dr Watson, my husband and I are also having the procedure performed by Dr Watson a wk apart in May my husband on the 4th and mine on the 11th at SJOG's hospital Murdoch. How did everything go for you and were you happy with Dr watson? We are both really excited and nervous of course, my husband has started his pre op diet and I have joined early with him in support, I thought it wouldn't hurt. If you have any advice towards any of our journey we would greatly appreciate it. Thanks for your time Annie...

Hi Perthchick I'm Annie also living in perth...I'm about to be banded by Dr Watson on the 11th of May and noticed that he was written up in your stats... Did he do your band and how did you find going through the procedure with him? It's such a big thing to go through and I'm wanting to find out all that I can. How has everything been for you since having the band? Looking forward to hearing from you Annie ...

Hi Katie, it's Annie you reponded to my thread about the type II diabetes,thankyou...Your achievments have been great I'm so happy for you. I know for me it has been the last straw for me with my diabetes and having to turn to insulin injections it made my decision to go forward with having the lap band.

I am an Australian and I live in Perth WA. I could not see where you are from, and I am not far off my 38th birthday. My op is actually 3 days before my birthday.Happy Birthday to me lol.I'm just thinking well it's the first day to the rest of my life so that is a good thing even if my birthday is so close.I am Happily married and I have a 10 yr old son.

I'm feeling quite nervous and would love to be able to share my experience with some one else who is travelling a similar road.

I hope to chat to you again soon thankyou again. Take care and good luck.

Annie
