Fairly penguins are this http://www.crikey-adventure-tours.com/low-head-penguin.html this should clear up the state thing http://www.street-directory.com.au/sd_new/home.cgi I was lucky enough to be part of a very successful teen trial run in austraila, it ment I had the best lap band doctors that austraila has he also is big in America At 14 I was 225 lbs I lost 100 of that and am now classed as underweight slightly for my hight, it well and truly changed my life for the better, after a wile you get used to explaining and eating restrictions, the other thing is I was lucky to have it at 14 before the problem got worse and I was still young enough to make changes to my lifestyle It's not all roses though I have had some issues with mine, but there common with the older type of band mostly I had a pouch at the top of mine that cause extrem reflux and heartburn but if I don't eat after 7 I find I'm totally fine. I would say i Would have the 4 then it's been so long now 7 years in June that I can't remember

Hi, I lost 45kg or About 100 lbs, I don't really have a settled diet, I'm working with a nutritionist to try and get a healthy diet, I don't eat bread at all or much meat, I've cut out milk recently, chips are my biggest weakness lol so easy to eat! And 2 years, so your on the new type of band then? I'm not 100% how it works over there but there were two types of band here for a wile and I have the older type, South florida sounds amazing! Is it warm?
