Hi Everyone,

Well i finally made the decision to have banding done on the 17th November..I live on the sunshine coast and am being banded by Dr Michael Donovan.

Im really nervous and not sure if im doing the right thing?

Can anyone give me any idea what im in for.Also does anyone know of any support groups on the coast.

Thanks heaps

Leanne

One of the members of this group announced, yesterday that she had lost

150 lbs. May others have lost 100 or more lbs. I've only been at this 5 weeks

and have lost almost 50 lbs.

I don't know anyone that underwent this surgery that wasn't at least a little

nervous, but it isn't very difficult at all. I went into the prep room. laid on a bed,

they wheeled me into the OR everyone said hello and I woke up in the recovery

room, Just that easy. Relax, it's a snap. Good luck.

Welcome and good luck!
