G'day everyone

[matt in tassie 0]

I stumbled across this site a few days ago, and have been checking it out everyday since. Well what can I say, I live in Tasmania, Australia and have been banded now for about 11 months with no worries so far.

Of course i've learnt a few lessons along the way, especially how my body does'nt appreciate lot of gas, less beer:cry but a new found love for red wine:) . I am going along well with a start weight of 164 kg and a bmi of 49.9 to, now 132 kg and a bmi of 39.

So the experince for me all round has been pretty good with no regrets with the decision to have the procedure and a new found addicition for the gym.I'm looking forward to catching up with fellow banders and sharing there take on things.

c u later.

Hi Matt, there's a few Aussies on this board. I live in Melbourne, actually quite a few of us do.

Glad to hear you're going well with it a year down the track. My one year anniversary is coming up December 9.
