look just hold your head up high..... everntually most people find out sooner or later, and who really cares what people think or say. it really depends on how you feel inside. nothing feels as good as thin and believe me i got banded in jan this year and only told 2 people mu mother still dont know and thats how ill keep it,well fo now anyway, as soon she is going to ask what am i doing to loose the weight and ill be honest with her. you never know you might find someone else with in your friend group who is thinking of the same procedure and you may be setting a healthy weightloss trend. i know how you must be feeling but just drop the baggage of this stress as you dont need it ...... just push ahead and it is very very worth it all. i started at 106kgs 23rd jan............ 17 weeks later im now 88.5kg!!! feel fantastic... hubby cant keep his hands off me!! cheers and hope this cheers u up.

hi ya people from perth!!! i have been banded 5 weeks tomorrow and im doing really well. so far so good! i did at first have some restriction but after the 2 week i started getting bit hungry. i am exercising every day from walking riding or aerobics at home. FINALLY i can say im feeling pretty good about myself as i have weighed myself and so far for the 5 week weigh in i have lost 7.7kgs!!! bloody uneal. i cant wait for my first fill as hopefully it will help me loose even more weight! one thing we must all remember its up to us to choose the healthy options or we are just tricking our selves and i know the band cannot loose the weight for us , we have to work with it,. well good luck to you all. does anyone wanna meet up for a chat/lunch etc this sunday 2nd march at the high road hotel in the lovely beer garden??? it is in willetton on high road... let me know if your planning on being there sms me to let me know how many banders are coming. lets say we meet at 12 noon for lots of talks and light lunch?? sms me Christine on 0427182920 cheers good luck peoples
