Hi! I am all new to this.
I have not been banded yet, but have been "lurking" in here for a long time reading comments. This site helped me make the decision to lap band and has answered a lot of questions I have had that my big lap band book has not answered. :rose:
I have been on the waiting list for 9 months so far and do not know how long it will be until the operation - I can hardly wait. I have decided to lose as much weight as I can before the operation in order to make everything optimal in my body before the stress of a general anaesthetic. Since November 20th I have lost 11 kilos! (24.2 lbs). YAY! It has gotten me even more excited about the band!
I am so excited to get on to the next stage of my life (and scared)! I know that God has so much He wants me to do that is not possible aty my current weight.
Is there anyone else here from Australia?
How do I get one of those weight trackers on my signature - I love that!
Thanks for "listening"!
Miles of smiles -
