Hi Jodi, I too am in the same boat as you. although I am also pregnant.... I am wondering, is there anyone out there who has managed to have the surgery and not tell their husband.....?? I know it sounds deceitful but when you have a husband who just thinks you should be able to click your fingers and not be fat anymore, it is hard. I have bought it up once and he said it was a lazy, easy way out - I completely disagree with him but am unsure what to do.... Anyones input would be greatly appreciated!!

Hi everyone, am looking at being banded once I have given birth (am 12 weeks pregnant). Have about 30-40kgs to lose. Was wondering, has anyone else been banded shortly after giving birth??? Also, does anyone know approximate out of pocket expenses in VIC AUS or does it depend on the surgeon? Thanks.

What did you have in the liquid stage?? Sorry it's 20 questions but I want to know as much as I possibly can!! I have an appointment with my doc on Monday and I'm going to ask her for a referral and I want to go in with as much info as possible. Thanks, JC28

Wow, that's great, so did you have to have anything special to keep up your nutrients??

Thanks Jacqui! Was it $3,000 - $4,000 after your private health insurance or is that what you pay without insurance? That is fantastic that it has worked so well for you, how long has it taken to lose the weight? Also, I'm a bit naive here as I really don't have anyone to talk to about this, but is there much scarring after the operation? Congratulations on such a fantastic result! You must be so proud of yourself. JC28

Thanks for that flabuless, I can't believe you lost weight all the way through your pregnancy, I have already stacked on the weight and it's only been 12 weeks, I am absolutely terrified that it will continue! :help: Tell me the trick!!!! One more question, did you have to stop breastfeeding after the operation? Thanks, JC28.
