thanks for this i'm still putting the same in my mouth just chewing more throughly maybe this will help me slow down:clap2:

hi have no problem with travel car plane or boat from the very begining it was fine, i have read on other post's some experience a little tightining after a flight but actually i think that was only one post so it may be pretty rare i'm sure if someone has experianced it they will post it for you, good luck with op and travel and don't forget to keep us posted:)

just a query here how the heck do you find a bike where the tyres don't look like they are flat the minute you sit on them i use to love bike riding but hav't done it for a long time if someone can give me the name of a good strong bike i think i might treat myself for chrissy

hi all have a query when we were at karingal someone was saying { i think it was colleen actually } that was advised to wash pouch out now i can't remember was it with soda or mineral water and was it last thing at nite or first thing in morning

hiya all hope everyone is well,Anna i have been waiting to see how things pan out i have some stuff going on so can't commit to anything for probs another week or two would love to see you's all but the best i can say is if i end up being able to come i will check site b4 hand and if it's still a goer i'll drop by

hi marijana so glad everything going ok for you and the fill seems to have done the trick

hi phili so sorry to hear you have to go through op again will be thinking of you best wishes and good luck jenny

hi susannah i'm sorry you are feeling so down know what you mean and it's worse now with this big push they have on at the minute for healthy eating and no junk food i know it's important for our kid's but it dosen't help people's attitude to us there are some terrible people outand about that have done some awful things and yet we cop it well we have to be strong and say bugger them we can and will lose weight they will still be horrible people, try and stay positive your new life awaits

hi mary that is terible you have to go through all that, i can't believe you have to pay anthing i would have thought either the doctor's ins or the band makers would be liable you shouldn't be out of pocket check with someone or maybe someone on here knows

hiya anna great to hear from you and to know you are ok, do you think you will be up to going to bandworks? and what about karingal?

try not to worry too much it's natural to be nervous proably the biggest majority of us were, evrytime i thought my nerves would chicken out i kept thinking of a lighter me for the first time ever and getting on the floor to play with my grand-daughters, so try and turn it around to excitement :clap2:

hiya Anna so glad it's all over for you now just take things slowly and let yourself heal, look forward to seeing your posts as we all travel this journey together x

i was going over some older posts and was wondering if anyone has heard as how lots of kids is doing i can't find anything recent from her?

hi nic well you are doing better than me i also have been banded 15 months and lost only 11 kilos but i don't really mind i would never have lost it, i think going through menopause has made it a bit slower,i'm in aspendale garden's and was banded by chris hensman at mulgrave. ollie's mum has your doctor got a support group within his clinic mine has a very good one have you tried some of the other lapband site's to see if anyone has gone through what you have don't feel alone we all experience different reactions to our band but we are here for each other

hi kellie great to hear everything went so good can't wait to see pic's. and hi to nic hopefully there will be a few meet up's now that we have actually got together. how long have you been banded? and who by?

i can't believe it's the same person you look really great, shame i didn't get to really talk to you with me getting lost and arriving late and you going soon after but karingal sounds like a great spot to catch up again
