I wish to thank you all for your inspiring comments and helpful information. i can see that i am gonna spend hours on this site reading all your comments.

i am researching into this lap band process, would love to hear from people in australia who have had this done, as well as other parts of the world.

i have made the decision to do this....recently having a health scare has done its job and scared me into seriously losing weight.....and as i have a LOT of weight to lose and like all have tried everything under the sun to try to lose it ...i only pray that this is indeed the answer for me as it has been for many of you ....even reading all the setbacks etc is very helpful...gives me a more realistic picture of what to expect than just out of some medical text book etc....

so i hope to have may comments to say (after all i is a woman and that hard to keep quiet at the best of times) hahahaahahah

please feel free to add anything to these comments.......

wishing you all well in your achievements of losing weight.....and continueing to read all your inspiring comments.....once again thanks from the fat chick in oz hahahaahahah

thanks guys....some very interesting subjects.....one question i cant seem to find anywhere......how much can you actually eat...portion size etc....i find all sorts of foods like yummy mushy things.....ooooh i cant wait...but cant find any mention anywhere of exactly how much of any one thing you can eat....i know it wont be much....and does it keep you full until the next meal....is it baby food size portion or a bit bigger.....im hoping bigger....otherwise my baby will be eating more than me hahahaahahahahaah

just the start of many questions from me i suspect.....cheerio
