It is great to see people who are so close to where i am.. i too think this should keep going.. I am having alot of trouble with my private cover company so i havent been able to get the ball rolling yet for my stuff.. privat cover is being a real pain in the you know what.... they are trying to get out of something that they stuffed up and i am not letting them... i am standing my ground and they dont like it.. anyway i am always interested to hear other people stories on this...

hi everyone as i said i am from Adelaide and i am looking for opinions... I have joined private cover so i can get the lap band surgery. As i am well obviously overweight and everything i have and do try doesnt seem to work so my doctor suggested the lap band. I am definately interested in getting this done but another person has also told me to try the bodytrim program.. Now i am not sure what to do really.. i am not going to cancel my private cover but does anyone else have an opinion on this.. I am thinking that i need to do the lapband because i can guarntee the bodytrim i will fail at and i really think i need medical help... sorry i am babbling on but i am just confused at the moment... help?????? i guess what i want to know is what does everyone think? with lapband how long before the weight starts coming down? is it painful? how long are you in hospital?

i just replied to another post regarding the band in saying i wish there was another way around the 12 month waiting period as i really cant wait to get this done. is it correct that you dont lose weight all the time...

hey everyone.. love this thread.. i am from Adelaide, Elizabeth area and i am wanting to get the band at the end of this year.. I joined private cover last year but was told i had to wait 12 months until i am covered to get it done.. geez i wish someone knew a way around that waiting period. anyway i am at the moment in the middle of making the appointment to go back to see my doctor to get the ball rolling with from what i can tell alot of appointments... So great to read other stories from Adelaide... Hope to chat to you all again soon....

i joined my private health cover in September and i have just looked and they havent been taking any payments from me since i joined.. does that now mean that i havent been covered and that i now have to join again which means my 12 months wait starts again..gggggggggrrrrrrrrrrr i hope not..... what can i do??????????? i am going to ring them but does anyone else have any suggestions????

yep i am definately looking at the lapband.. like you said i have tried so many things and nothing seems to work.. i have been tested for so many things to see if there is a problem and still nothing comes up.. so i am really looking into it.. I have got private health cover so that should cover most of the cost i hope..

Thanks for replying. i would really like as much info as possible.... would be so helpful...
