Hey Bron, Great stuff.:biggrin1: My surgeon didn't discuss my goal weight with me. I think he leaves that to the dietician. I have given myself the goal of 75 kgs, but it may actually need to be 70 kgs.

Dietician will tell me when I see her soon I guess.

Susannah

Susannah.... did you see a dietician pre-op. I believe Dr Nottles makes his patients see one pre-op but not sure after that............

Hi Bron,

Congrats on your date you must be over the moon. Good on you, it was all that positive thinking.!!!!

Hi, We have to do the info night, read heaps of literature that includes detailed info on diet, pre and post banding, physician, 2 consults with the surgeon, dietician post op. I had a sleep study also. How can I work out what my weight should be before I see the dietician? My height is 166.

Susannah

Hey Bron, Was I right with all my predictions? Susannah

yes smarty bum you were correct. Im 166cm and Dr Nottle said 68kg.

Hey, My height is also 166.

Twins!!!!!

Hey, My height is also 166. I think I would struggle to get down to 68kgs and maintain it. now I am stressed. Susannah

by the way.... thank you to all over you for waiting patiently for my post today and for the kind words and support. Can i ask a favor..... can you all please come and hold my hand on the 9th March:nervous

That was suppose to be ... to all of you

Bron, I tell you what, nurses are fantastic people. The nurses at the Avenue were so wonderful and kind to me. Susannah

Yeh... i tend to agree.. i believe im a good nurse and im gonna make a horrible patient...

Look out Western Private!!

Hey Bron, I forgot to tell you that one of the nurses who looked after me at The Avenue had herself been banded there three weeks before. Susannah

Forgot to mention.... i dont have to go on optifast. Thought i might do the first week prior just to start preparing myself for the liquid phase.
