Hi. Me to! Im looking forward to it being put back in after 2 years cos i know it works!! Im in Melbourne Australia so with the time difference we will probely having done at the same time. I wish you and our december friends the best of luck and a new found health and happiness, well when the pain goes. Oh and expect left shoulder tip pain from the air they put in during surgery. Heat packs worked the best for me. Big hugs to everyone

I'm a little nervous tho cause I just found out last night that I was having surgery Friday!!! So I hadn't really had time to do the liquid diet, I'm just hoping it will be ok in the OR!!

How is everyone? I had my op friday morning and when the doc when to put my band in there was mesh in the way that Tasmanian surgon uses. He said he had to remove part of my stomach so he could place the band. He said that there would not have been enough stomach to do a sleeve!!! But the worst bit...... A cut unbetween boobs were your bra sits and another underneigh one of my tits!! So tomorrow mum is taking me into town so i can get a comfy bra. It was bad no internet reception! So how is everyone going? I had 2 days of black tea, beef broth and apple juice. So now im out ive got kiddie size low cal o.j of which for a meal i probley drank half and a cup of chicken noodle Soup with the noodles out. Our docs gave us an a4 booklet on the first month and basically it says this is the only week we should have fluids as meals for the rest of our banded lives. Cos i guess its true you dont learn healthy eating habits by having shakes. What else... Not much no cute nurses but make sure everyone supports their tummy and does deep breathing and coughing to help prevent and lung infection. Im afraid i dont have big massive hugs tonight. Just small ones!
