Hi RoseJanelle!
I was having to double check your message to make sure that I hadn't written it. I am from Melbourne Australia and have just recently decided to have lap band surgery. I am booked in for 1 July 08. It has taken me 2 years to get the courage to see my doctor about it. After balling my eyes out he was so sweet and recommended a great surgeon.
I am turning 30 in August so I can't think of anything better I could do for myself. It is my chance to start enter my 30's with a spring in my step.
I am 175cm tall and weigh a 162kg (I was bright red when my surgeon weighed me). I think it converts to 356lb.
I have had a sleep test done and find out those results on Friday morning. This is to detect whether I have sleep apnoea. This scariest part for me it doing the Optifast diet 2 weeks before surgery. Yuck!
I am only new to this blog thing but if you have any questions, please let me know.
Lauren.
