Hey Anna, Great to hear from you. We should organize a little Melbourne Meeting one day at a coffee shop ??...or an AP meet up !! I dont know what size band I have either, or if the surgeon put any fill in at the time of the op. I have an appt at the Avenue on 24th October, if anyone wants to meet, ? Its 2.45pm so might not suit....anyway..great to meet two new friends. Julie eeyore21@iinet.net.au email anytime off list if you like!

I cant believe how similar our stories are ! I could be sitting in your seat typing that same story about pushing the limits and eating til I pb. As you said, its the best thing to be able to have aother chance !! No way am I going to return to 159kg !! email me off list if you like eeyore21@iinet.net.au Julie

Curly, You know I am thinking the same thing. I am on several groups and boards and there does seem to be many issues similar However, nothing can compare from being 159kg and now feel NORMAL !! I jumped on the scales today and I am 68kg omg...and to think for one week since my surgery I havent eaten anything either !! Julie

Hi Curly! Yes, I sooo love the Prof I have an appt with him at the end of the month for my first fill...not sure whether I would have lost any weight since the new band, cos it seems I have gained 4kg this week!! Oh well...it will come back off, once I get restriction. Which suburb do you live in ? I am in Donvale...my first band slipped, well the stomach came up over it. I had all the Fluid removed to begin with and it sorted itself out, but then as we started to refill, it happened again. I also have several months of dodgy, maladaptive eating...pratically pb'ed everything I ate since the slip, so I went the other way and lost all my weight as opposed to gaining any.

Hi Curley I am in Melbourne and we share surgeons I just had my new band on 4th October, so its just a week so far. My first band was 2nd May 05, and up til now I have lost 95kg. Not sure if its the big AP or small yet, have to ask that question when I go for my first fill !! Julie
