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. Sharon
