I really think it is normal for anyone to be scared - but really to be honest you do have nothing to be scared of it is a real simply operation - I was really scared myself before you know you wake up you are a little sore and think what was I worried about serious don't get yourself worked up as there is nothing to worry about all you are doing is getting yourself very upset just think positive and what you are going to achieve at the end I was lapband on the 15th Sept 2008 and then had to go for surgery for a replace port on the 2nd of Feb 2009 and it all went well believe in me there is nothing to worry about I hope I have given you some relief. Cheers Tanya (AUSTRALIA)

Hi Tanya
I had my surgery with my sister and friend on the 27th January. Things have been going pretty well I have lost about 12kg so far (8.4 prior to surgery on the optipoo stuff). I live at Bracken Ridge on the northside of Brisbane. Do you ever get on the Brisbanebandsters website I thought that I read a post on there about someone having their port tube stuck with a needle.
I hope that you are recovering well now and that things will get back to normal for you quickly. I have been back at work for most of last week so it is not too bad luckly.
Anyway hear from you soon

Hello Vonkrum, When I was in my pre op diet I had for breakfast 2 eggs as the protien and sometime added some mushrooms if you like them say about half a cup - you can eat any most green vegs eg califlower, beans, brocile, Cabbage you are allowed two cups in total for lunch and dinner of them you are allowed lean mean 100grams, Fish and Chicken with the skin off 120gram or prawns unshelled 150grams, Tuna in spring water 120grams you can have that for lunch and dinner I had for lunch champion mushrooms 4 off them a couple of asparcus slice of cheese not processed I found cracker barrel was the best cucumber and only had the optifast if I was hungry as a snack and you will do well I did another thing I did cooked was a stuffed capscium coz you are not allowed alot of things in makes it hard to make anything to interesting I just fried up onion garlic italian herb tomato in the tin and mince and take put that all after it is cooked that put it in the empty capscium and fill the pot half way up the capscium and takes about 20 mins to 30min it is very nice and very filling I steamed my fish with my vegs as you can not have any bread crumbs please coz of you are not allowed any carbs if you want to know anymore and if I can help you please contact me again GOOD LUCK!!!! Cheers Tanya Aussie -
Hi Bandaidowunder - gee that is a bit of bad luck I hope that is not a normal thing that happens cause people won't want to have extra surgery all the time. I live in Brisbane.

Hi BandAiDowUnder
Thanks for your fab photos they are really amazing. I love it when people put before and after photos on not just silly photos of before or after we want to see the full journey. Anyway I am getting my band on the 27th of January with my sister so looing at these sites has been really helpful. Your photos are the first ones I have ever felt like commenting on cause they are so great and also because I think you are from Aus like me (hopefully I got that right).
Thanks again and all the best
Kristine
