hello:thumbup: i just wanted to share my excitement with everyone else (because you all understand how i feel) that i finally have a date set for 22nd june, it never really hit me until this morning when i was calling to make all the necesary appointments. i have waited for a year for the private health to kick in and yes its here. the only downer about the whole thing is that there is a bit more prep for me because i have a colostomy so the before and after diet will have to be watched carefully so i dont get blocked up, if you know what i mean, but i am not to bothered. i dont think anything could get me down now.

congrats pink!! I was banded June 20 of last year and wow what an amazing almost 10 months it has been! Your life is going to change so much for the BETTER!! congrats!!!:wub::thumbup::wub:

Yes, congratulations..it will be worth the wait...I was banded last month so I am very very excited for you...Keep us posted on your progress

Hi,

Congratulations on your decision. I found Optifast to be extremely 'binding'!!! Maybe discuss this with your Dr.
