Goanna get banded!!



Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I am new around here - nervously hoping to be banded soon.:nervous I am meeting with a doctor later in the week (Mr Chris Hensman at ESV, Mulgrave).

I posted a rambling intro to the Introduction section of the LapBandTalk site, so you can read up a bit more about me there if you like.

I am really nervous - so many questions and issues running around in my head - but the more I read and learn (thanks everyone!), the more certain I am becomming that a band is the right tool for me.

I'm looking forward to travelling along with the "Band". I'd love to hear from anyone - especially if you have experience with ESV / Knox / Dandy Valley and their repective support groups, or if you have become pregnant after the band.

For now it's in God's hands...

Anna.

Thanks Fee.

I've read up on their site, now just waiting with butterflies for Friday...

I've got so many questions to ask, I'd better get around to writing them all down. I thought I'd do this at the start of a Band journal. Sounds like a good idea for tracking progress / issues etc.

Hope to chat again soon.

Cheers!

Congratulations!!

I agree, writing everything down helps keep things straight in your head (I still do this, it became a habit)

Good luck, and congrats again.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
