Why don`t you come on over to www.bandingtogether.com.au

plenty of Aussie bandits to chat with there ..

I do come here sometimes but its usually pretty quite , in the Aussie section anyway....

Best of luck to all who are thinking of taking this journey , I have never been happier and wished I had not waited so long before taking the step....

Hi Everyone,

I'm also in Perth and was bended on 28th June 2010 by Prof Sue Taylor, so I'm 6weeks post op today.

My experience so far has been fantastic, all positive. I had my first fill last week with no problems at all!

Good luck to all of you on your journey.....

Hello :thumbup:

I'm in Perth and was banded 10 months ago. I have lost 39kg so far. I went through Circle of Care in Subiaco for my surgery and post op appointments; and I am going to WW for support and loving my journey.

Had a few complications at the start, but after everything settled down things started going well for me.

Best of luck.

Hi Guys

I am from Redcliffe WA. I have my surgery on Tue next week with Dr Dolan. This has been 12 months in the making and even though I am nervous about Tues. It could not have come soon enough. I have been reading everyones posts and it is great to see people in WA going through the same thoughts and feelings as me.
