Hi Nicole,

don't be too worried - it's a bit scary but I can speak from 7 months experience now and it's the best thing to have happened to me. I got banded by Dr Talbot at St George Priv and all has been good. I've lost 16kg so far so not a rapid loss but I'm living my life and not setting unreasonable expectations so it's good for me.

good luck with your appointment.

G'day Mate, another yank here on the path to getting banded also. I've been through the orientation, got my sleep study, done psych eval, ins approval, and last getting my gp approval. Sure hope he says were good to go. I would hate to gone through all this for nothing. BTW, I have a good mate in Yarrawonga -Mulwala I'm hoping to come see this fall (you're spring). Good luck, and no worries eh!
