Hey Loretta

Broadbeach is basically at Surfers Paradise, and they are both about 15-20min from the theme parks. Not far at all.

Most of the big hotels, apartments etc are at Broadbeach.

Hope you have a great trip!

Hi All,

Just dropped in on this, Try the brisbane holiday village, and stay in the cosmo cabins, all the facilities of a hotel and only 20mins from the theme parks. It has a pool, mini golf, etc like an upmarket holiday park. Check out the website www.brisbaneholiday.com.au

Good Luck...

Hey Fee...

well, you know, it's QLD after all - so per usual it's hot! Yesterday was 36C...but today was much cooler (29 or 30c I think) and a little overcast...even if it rains it will still be hot!

Today it's been looking like it's going to rain, but nothing yet. Good luck for the weekend.

:)

Hi Dionne

Dr De lacey did my procedure, only problem I am having is 13 days post op, swelling has gone down and I feel like i can eat anything. Got approval to go to vitamised early, but tried some soft casserole tonight and it went down no problems. I am being careful measuring out only half a cup at each meal . Did you have a similar problem, when did you get your band done?

cheers

Hi I'm in Central Queensland. I was banded on 21 March 2007 and first fill was 26 April. If anyone would like to contact me if you live close I'd love to get to know some fellow bandsters from QLD.

Cheers

Lisa

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
