hi...im not yet banded but will be in a few months. My weight is 114kgs atm and is still climbing while im waiting. My height is 5 ' 4. My BMI is 45 my size is 20 -22

you said you had to wait a very long time to see him...well isnt that a good sign as then he is very busy and attending to alot of patients that are happy with him. I would be more concerned if i didnt have to wait and got in straight away

my maiden name is Barker.....always got called a dog

congratulations ....good to see your doing well

congrats and the best of luck

my doc said it stays in there for life unless something happens and it needs to be removed for a life threatning situation or similar!!

hmmmm...thats a bit of a pain isnt it?

congrats and best of luck

i reckon she would have had some sort of surgery for sure

im looking forward to be seen as a normal person, walking into any shop and ahve clothes fit me, running after my 4 kids, swimming at the beach, going out for social functions, and just to get some self esteem back and feel good about the way i look.

hey everyone i met my surgeon today and before i get the band i need to have an operation first because i have an infection in my stomach from a previous operation. my doc wont put the band in until the infection is all cleared and healed which is a good thing i guess. Anyways i will be getting banded prob in 6 months time.I have to meet with the dietitian in 6 weeks!!! but all is looking good. I also met a wonderful lady today while i was waiting to see my surgeon and i have told her to join here as this forum is just full of supportive people and theres alot of info that could be useful for her. Take care Fee

yeah get your eye fixed first like i have to do with my infection.

yes from the last time i spoke to you i ahve taken a big step!! My husband is being more supportive now and is all for it. I was going to join weight watchers again but i havent as yet. How did you go with your appointment?

thanx barb ok im seeing the respiratory specialist on the 26th sept and the dietitian the week after. i should get a date for the lapband sometime after my surgery that im having to fix up my infection prob a few months and once thats healed i should be right to get the go ahead for the band.....YAY...lol

hi everyone, i have already had a tummy tuck done about 2 yrs ago and am getting banded soon...does anyone know if i will still be able to get the keyhole surgery or get a big incision cut?? Any info would be great!! Thanks in advance....Fee

hi everyone i just want to know if anyone else has experienced what i have been for the last few months. I keep eating i dunno why but i do.Im not hungry i just eat for the sake of it. I then later go to bed and cry and think why did i do that? Its just more weight that i have to lose. Everyday all i think about is losing weight...i start a diet in the morn then by lunchtime its out the window.I dont know what else too do.Do u think the band will help in this situation? Somebody please help me and explain too me why i would be doing this too myself?? Thanks Fee
