Hi Goannabanda (love the name lol)

I was banded on June 20th in Hobart by Dr. Wilkinson (funny little dr who wears white overalls - first time I saw him walk into his rooms I thought he was a painter LOL). I live in the North West so its about a four hour drive to see the doc. I had my first fill on August 23rd - 2cc's in a 4cc band. Boy...was that a wake up lol. No local support group here... my only support has been via the net and my husband who is great. Congrats on making the decision to be banded - it's not one to be taken lightly. The change in lifestyle is pretty major both for you and your family. I miss the social aspects of food but I sure don't miss the 18kg lol.

Hiya again SharynP,

Well, we'll be your personal cheer squad - if you are ever in Melb, let us know and we'll catch up for a cuppa. I LOVE having coffee with people - I LOVe to drink it, and I LOVE to talk! LOL!

I hope your doc is a better surgeon than a painter - LOL!

I'm glad you like my name - I suprised myself when that one popped into my head! LOL! I started out as Minifyeme (I had a dog called Mini), but the name was a pain to type, so I changed it to something more familiar and better suited to me - it sounds more fun, and relates to my real life name & nicknames (Goanna or Spanna).

Cheers,

Anna.
