Hello all from Australia

Hello all, I am new and from Australia....

I was banded in 2002 and weighed 341 pounds I have lost over 143 pounds and now weigh 198 pounds.

It has taken me longer due to having 3 children since having the band which is a big plus since I am also a PCOS sufferer.... It has also done wonders on my asthma which is all but gone and I feel fantastic.

On June the 9th I am off to get a Tummy Tuck to remove a ton of skin removed....

so yes nice to meet you all :laugh: and thanks in advance for reading ....

This forum is quite fabulous - so much support and attention from others - it's a God send. I have relatives in Australia and would like to maybe visit someday. Is the weather turning colder now?
