  1. 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.

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

    2 Weeks pre-op

    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.

    Interest in aussie only forum?

    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:
