On waiting list in Melbourne Australia

[TheWorshipDiva 0]

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 -

Hi Diva,

there are a few Australian banders on this site. I am one of them. :rose:

I hope you won't have to wait much longer to have your surgery - it sounds like you've got the right attitude and now it's only a matter of getting a spot.

Congrats too on the weight loss so far! Getting the weight off is a great way to start - the band will help you keep it off. :tongue2:
