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

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
