Hi I'm new to the site



Recommended Posts

Hi I had my lap band surgery on the 10th of June and in the process of recovering. I just wanted to say hi and hopefully catch up with others who had the lap band done around the same time.

I live in Australia and my surgeon was Dr Ian Martin. I self funded my surgery and went intermediate to cut down the costs.

Cheers:)

Hi and welcome. I had my lap band surgery on the 10th as well. There is also a whole group of us in the June 2008 forum. Hope you are feeling well. I'm tired and still dealing with the gas pressure from the surgery. Each day is better though! Good luck on your journey and private message me if you would like to keep in touch.

I had mine in Rotorua, NZ on June 11th. My insurer covered half...so happy about that. I lost 8 kilos in the two weeks leading up to surgery and have lost another 2 in the last five days. Sticking to the half cup at a time is hard work but I'm sure it will get better. Good luck!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!

      Today was rough...
      I've been experiencing a headache all day today that just won't go away. I'm thinking it's now progressing into a migraine. Does anyone else get headaches from taking vitamin B12? I did some research and learned that usually a lack of B12 causes headaches. But I've noticed when I take it, I have reoccurring headaches. 😫
