i am absolutely over the moon. I still have a couple of hurdles to jump ie seeing physician and dietician in 2 days but all should be plain sailing.

--------------------------------------------------------------

To be banded: 9th March 2007

Starting weight: 103kg

Goal weight as per Dr Nottle: 68kg :omg:

Hey Bron, Great stuff.:biggrin1: My surgeon didn't discuss my goal weight with me. I think he leaves that to the dietician. I have given myself the goal of 75 kgs, but it may actually need to be 70 kgs.

Dietician will tell me when I see her soon I guess.

Susannah.... did you see a dietician pre-op. I believe Dr Nottles makes his patients see one pre-op but not sure after that............

Hi Bron,

Congrats on your date you must be over the moon. Good on you, it was all that positive thinking.!!!!

Hi, We have to do the info night, read heaps of literature that includes detailed info on diet, pre and post banding, physician, 2 consults with the surgeon, dietician post op. I had a sleep study also. How can I work out what my weight should be before I see the dietician? My height is 166.
