Hello from Australia

Hi there everyone.

Just wanted to say Hi and let you know my little story.

I live in Adelaide, South Australia and have been banded for 9 months to the day.

I was banded on 1st July 2009 by Dr Justin Bessell at Wakefield Hospital. My starting weight was 150.2kg and can now confidently say I am 120kg. I did Optifast for 1 month pre surgery and lost 10kg.

Surgery went well and I am happy with the journey I am now travelling.

I do have a few questions that I would like answered, so I am going to find the right place to post them, but I just wantedt to drop by and say Hi and thanks to one and all for a great website.

Thanks

H
