Holy down under Batman! Where did all the Aussies come from? Lmao, hey not complaining, there cool people, awesome accent. But I've got two Sheila's in my pouch to care for, they are getting banded and sent out with no info, may as well give them a loaded gun and say here, see what this does. .. crazy Aussie doctors! Hate to see what use for scalpel, machete?

You know what I really think you might be right! Thank god I found this forum. Mine sent me home with no pain meds. I'm guessing this isn't the norm??

I got given a whole book on the band, guidelines for eating pre and postop etc. That sounds like as much if not more info than a lot of the US Dr's give. I think in general a lot of the Dr's don't have the time or the inclination to give more than the basics. That is why sites such as these are so valuable. Actual experience is far better than theory . Who except for someone that has a band can tell you what it is like to live with, how it feels, what it feels like when you are stuck etc.

No my dear,far from it....probably said take advil, right? Please don't get offered, again think Aussies are great, just found it funny I'm mentoring two at same time, gonna need a score card soon.. :-! Like I said we're going to get you on target, somehow. So no worries, Sheila!

No,my dear not the norm. ...but, no worries Sheila B-) we're gonna get you on right path. Hey, what's chances of me " obscuring " a tazmainian Devi for thanks? :-! Settle for koala, but prefer devil,

Hmm you may want to re think the tassie devil! I live in Tassie and unfortunately most of them

are dying due to a facial tumor disease!

I'm sure we could master up a stuffed koala though lol

Awwww man, are they trying to save them from disease? I can get a stuffed koala here...want real deal. ..so I guess a dingo is also out of reach too then? Won't ask for Roo, probably kick my ass :-) alrighty my tazmanian friend, keep in touch like I said we'll get you set
