Hi Meg,

I was banded by Mr Crosthwaite last February. He is a warm and wonderful man, and a very professional surgeon.

Good luck.

:welcome2:Tracey - I'm also from Perth.

My friends mother was banded by Dr Couch about 3 weeks ago, and is very happy with him. I was banded by Dr Kierath in November.

Good luck with your journey, I'm looking forward to hearing about it.

I'm also on messenger amy.cleverly@hotmail.com

Hope to chat with you soon.

Amy

Done by Dr Couch. I feel very good, so glad to have had it done. Everything went smoothly, home next day. I have not felt hungry at all. Good luck with your procedure.

Hi Tracey!

Way to go - I'm in Perth too ;)

I hated the Optifast - I did two weeks of it. I liked the strawberry and Cappucino, but only managed the vanilla when blended with berries in it. I was lucky, I could have a salad some nights.

Good luck ;)

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
