Hello everyone,

Not sure if anyone posts in this thread anymore- it is quite quiet!

Anyway I am Nicole, from Cranbourne and I am just starting out with this banding procedure. I am hoping to attend my first seminar next month and go from there.

I am thinking of going to The Avenue or Knox Private- they seem to be the most popular for my area.

Anyway I would love to chat with everyone

Hi all,

I'm Shell. I'm being banded by Mr Gary Crosthwaite at The Avenue, Windsor next Friday (Aug 1st).

I'm not long home from my last pre-op appointment and was rapt to jump on the scales and find out that I've lost 5.5kg in the two weeks since I was last at the clinic. That added to the 4.5kg I'd lost in the 6 weeks previous makes me an awesome 10kg lighter. I started the Optifast on July 1st although didn't need to start them til the 11th. I figured that I'd give myself a full month on them to give myself the best start to this road to the new me.

Awesome weightloss Shell!!

I am moving to Melbourne from Perth in a little over a week's time and think I will be going to The Avenues for fills as my surgeon recommended them.

I'm not in Melbourne, but originally a Melby girl! Anyway, just butting in to say, if you can't make a get together, then why not just arrange one for when you can? Simply put up a time, day, place and everyone can turn up.
