I have just found this wonderful site. I have not have my lapband yet. I had to wait 12 months for my hospital cover to cover me. I now have a date for my banding 21th July 2010. I am really excited about it.

Look forward to meeting you all.

Cheers Sharon

Hi Sharon..

I'm a newbie too, my date is set for the 16th of Aug.

I would love to talk with some people that have had the band done, and are enjoying good results.

All I hear is the horror vomiting stories and people having the band removed.

Hi Chochook,

I'm 100 kg so i have about 35kg to lose, it would be fantastic, I have never been thin... what about yourself??

Have you been thinking about the WLS for a while???

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
