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.

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 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!!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
