Anyone from Australia?

Hi Guys,

Im Laura, I am going to be banded in 2 months time. Unfortunately I am new to Tasmania and barely know anyone.

I am glad i stumbled upon this website, I am nervous about getting banded and find it comforting to be

able to talk to other banded or about to be banded people. Im only 19, I work in a hospital as a cleaners, but have never

personally needed to be in a hospital. Is seems daunting!

Any pre-op advice you can give me would very much be appreciated.
