:faint: Hi I'm new too and also from Melbourne Victoria. New to lapband and internet chatting! Have been reading through lots of threads, and have found the answers to lots of my worries. I was banded on 19.12.06, so "enjoyed" a strawberry smoothie" for Xmas lunch. Been quit sore, so was worried something was wrong- then read that others had the same problem. Been to reluctant to contact the surgeon, as I was feeling like a big wimp! Do hope this journey is successful, But I Know now where to turn for help. Thanx
