There is a girl called Kim who has her own website dedicated to her Weight Loss Journey, it's pretty amazing, I have been following her journey for awhile.

She may have some great contacts for you as she particpates in health weekends etc which a bunch of other lap banders and they get together regulary from what I read. They are all in Melbourne.

This is the website: On the bottom of the main page of the website, you can send her a message and im pretty sure she will reply. She updates regulary.

I also read kims site, and would love it if there was something like that here in sydney. Would be great, to have all that support and friendships here.

Hi Mary

I am in Melbourne just East of the city and was also banded in October 07. I'd be happy to meet up for a coffee at some stage with you. :biggrin:

Melanie

Thanks Ange05, I had a look at Kims website. its great! She is very inspirational.

Hi Melanie,

I would love to catch up for coffee and share experiences. I live in Brunswick. I am very new at this form of communication so I have a bit to learn. I would love one of those Weight Loss Ticker things. Where and how can I get one?

Regards Mary.

If you go to ozband : ozband - oz support group for wls its a yahoo group for people all over Aus who will be/are being/ have been banded. There are also individual groups for each capital city. You don't need a yahoo email account now, just sign up with your own email account and you'll be fine.

I will be in Melby over xmas for a week catching up with family (born and bred, now living in Brissy). Happy to get together for a coffee with people while I'm there.

Hi Alison, nice to make contact. How are you going with your weight loss? I have put on a little over Xmas but want to get back on track. Although I live in Brunswick I am house and dog sitting in Kensington at present Until 21st Jan. 09. So my access to internet is spasmodic.

My email address is marstel100@hotmail.com. Please email me so that we can chat. It may take a few days at present for me to get back to you because of my living arrangements,but things will be back to normal soon. Are you free to meet during the day or at work? Look forward to further discussions.

Regards Mary:thumbup:

Hi, Megsy101, if my calculations are correct today is the day. Good luck. Stay in contact.

I live in Eltham but work in the city. Happy to catch up for a coffee somewhere in town if that suits.

Hi Mary,

Yep.....all done now!! Got home today and am feeling good, just a bit uncomfortable which is to be expected.

Going to take baby steps over the next couple of days.

Hope everyone is well!!

Megs

Hi, I work in the city a Melb Magistrates Court. During the holidays I am only at work On Mondays and Tuesday. My email is alisalvo@msn.com.

I have just found out about a weight loss support group not far from me (melb west). The group meets once a month to share successes, concerns etc. Everyone takes lunch so others can get ideas and see portion sizes etc. At the end of the session they have a clothing swap. I'm really looking forward to attending the next meeting. Perhaps there are groups similar in other areas too.
