Hello there.

I have just had band surgery on Friday (so I'm 3 days post just now). Aside from a small scare going over a speed bump a little fast and knocking the wind out of me I've had a great experience so far.

I lost about 5kg before the surgery and my insulin needs have dropped dramatically already (I'm a type 2 diabetic but needed insulin).

The pain from the surgery has almost gone already and I can take liquids pretty easily now. Fortunately I have great support from my family and friends, as well as a great team from the doctor (Dr. Craig Taylor from the OClinic in Sydney - you guys rock!).

Very pleased to meet everyone here and hope that my experience in going through this might help others in some way!

Hey from Melbourne !!

Congrats on the weight loss pre-surgery....and a HUGE congrats on decreasing the insulin levels.

Glad to hear that your surgery went well and recovery is progressing nicely.
