Hello Australian bandsters

I was banded in Perth Wednesday 05/09 and have used this site as my major source of info and support since I decided to go along this path to get my life back. I have been trying to get my profile to show me as Australian. The darn thing won't let me register without an American State!:tt2:

Can anyone out there let me know how I should go about registering, rejoining the forum or whatever so that I am listed as an Aussie?:wink::confused::crying:

Thanks a heap

Hello James, Ive had mine over a year ago now the first couple of month's are a little uncomfortable and a lot to get use of, I was just having mornay's & Soups but boy did the weight drop off..! the day i had it done i nearly dropped out so many times omg if it wasnt for the support of my hubby luke i wouldnt have done so! So im hoping you will have some sort of support with you on the day...everything will be fine, you will get thru this and wonder what your worrying about.....be proud, happy its the change of life we are looking for!! if theres anything your needing to talk about email me :)

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
