Hi to all, im 37 years old and live in australia i had a lap banding done last monday. my experince was good. i would recommend it to anyone that is morbidly obese. since last week (9 days) I have lost 12kg and except for a little wind pain have been great. one thing i do recommend is that you find a doctor that you are confident in and that has a good support team. i would love to hear from you with your experinces.

I am also in australia 38 and am just starting the process, would love to hear from you, so as i can see how you are going, experience wise, my email is bindi2203@yahoo.com love to hear from you

i am also aussie was done on 24 april. so thats nearly five weeks ago. i have no idea how much weight ive lost as i dont have scales. I know i have lost two dress sizes though .. thats so cool! but looking forward to seeing the surgeon again on friday to get weighed see how Im going..

keep in touch. this site is so good! full of useful information. feeling good now but had a bit of pain for a week/ ten days. im ionto solid foods now and am starting to get hungry! maybe thats time for the first fill? I dont know how that works. not sure that i got enough information about that part of it before the surgery. but I guess I will find out..

did your drs tell you of any local support groups. this is the only website ive found? but i wouldnt mind a local group....

hi, welcome to LBT.
