Hi all,

I am a 24 year old wife and mother of 1.

I am to be banded tomorrow, 22 feb.

I am looking forward to getting to know everyone.

Hi, Sammee, Best of luck to you! Please come back and post how you're doing --when you feel better. How much weight would you like to lose? You have a wonderful new life waiting for you and your family to enjoy!

I want to lose around 80 pounds to start with, but I could live with 100, lol.

Are you having any health problems right now? You'll be surprised how much better you'll feel....your energy, confidence, joints, etc.

Yes, I have type 2 diabeties, PCOS and high blood pressure.

I cant wait! It is all so surreal. I feels like yesterday that I got my date.

WELCOME Sammee! Oh how I envy where you live. Send those Strappin Single Boys over here ;0) Congrats on your big day & keep us posted mate !

Good luck for tomorrow Samee will be thinking of you and hope your soon home and on the mend.

Congratulations, Sammee!!! Wishing you the best on your surgery.

Good luck, Sammee! We have a few Aussies hanging around on this board from all over the country. Let us know how your surgery goes -- we're all cheering for you!

Hi Sammee,

I live in Perth and was banded on the 11th Feb. I cannot believe how good I feel already.

Congrats, I'm sure It's all gone well.

Take care, Rachel.

Good Luck! Keep us posted!

Best of luck. I used Dr. George Fielding. He's from Melborne. He works in NYC 1 month, then 1 month back in Australia. I'm certain you'll do great. It's really NOT a biggie.

How fantastic, hope all goes well and hope to see you on the message boards soon to tell how you are
