aarrgghh the dreaded one year wait!!

im 5 weeks till surgery and had to do the same thing

where abouts are you in australia?

im in melbourne...getting banded by peter nottle

good luck!!!!

HI not long for you to go either. Im in Adelaide being banded by Dr J Bessell

Sorry to hear that the post has flipped. What a shame you need to have more surgery to get it fixed.

Hi Lassen I hope everything goes well with your stress test today.

Hope all goes well for you on Friday. I live in Australia and I did not have hospital cover so when I got the cover they said it was a previous condition and I had to wait 12 months before they would cover me for the surgery.

Well its nearly here. Only 2 weeks to go until my surgery. I have to go on Optifast for the 2 weeks. My Dr wants me to loose 11 pounds before my op or he will not do it. I have used Optifast before and did OK with it.

I had to wait 12 months for my hospital cover to kick in so its been a long wait but its nearly over. Getting really excited maybe a little scared. Will keep you up to date.

I have joined www.Bandingtogether.com.au its a good site maybe a little quiet but if all us Aussies get together and join it could get really going.

Have a look its worth the effort. :thumbup:

My day is 21st July. I am starting my liquid diet tomorrow for 2 weeks then off I go to have my op. I'm so excited about how my life will change all for the better.

Cheers Sharon

Funny you saythat about the coffee. I was told 1 cup a day but I never asked why. So your post has made me realise why. Thanks.

I understand where you are comimg from. I am 43 and wonder how I got here. I am due to have a lapband 21st July and I wish I had of done it years ago.

I also think its a great idea. Count me in.

Hi Nel Congratulations on your date. I am very excited about getting my band. But the same as you its a bit scary reading some of the posts about the pain and the vomiting. Lets hope we dont have any troubles.

I would love to join up to talk to you aswell. I am getting my band done 21st July. Im really excite about this process.

Cheers Sharon

I have just found this wonderful site. I have not have my lapband yet. I had to wait 12 months for my hospital cover to cover me. I now have a date for my banding 21th July 2010. I am really excited about it.

Look forward to meeting you all.

Cheers Sharon

Hi Jase glad everything is going well for you. I too live in Australia. In SA. I have not had my banding done yet I have got my date though. 21st July getting really excited about it.

Good luck with your journey.
