Hey all,

My name is Josh and I am from Brisbane. I am 29 and weigh 160kg. I have always been big and am just about at wits end. I am finally having my lap band op on 14th January and I can't wait! I am hoping to have some support either online or a support group around Brisbane.

I am a litte nervous but very excited about how it is going to change my life. I can't wait to go out in public without people staring at me, to buy clothes in a 'normal' shop, to be able to go to Dreamworld and actually go on the rides! It might seem like I am whinging but its excites me that I will be able to do all these things and more!

Hoping to chat to you soon,

Josh.

Hi Josh, I am from Sydney, I had teh band 2.5 years ago, I was around 164Kg and am now about 94. The only regret I ever had about the band was not getting it sooner. Beleive me you will feel the same soon. If you have any questions you think I can answer from first hand experience, feel free to ask me.

Definately well done Nigel. I only hope I have the same success that you have had. I will keep in contact to let you know my progress and incase I have any questions!

Josh.
