Hi Everyone,

I haven't been on in a while but I'm still on the waiting list for my lap band. It'll be my fourth year on the waiting list this year.

I've gained 40kg since I went on the waiting list and now my GP has told me that my spine is compressed and he has written a letter stating that I urgently need it done but I still haven't heard from the hospital about an appointment with Dr Wilkinson.

I guess I'm feeling a bit down about it all.

I'm not on the shortlist so it will be another year or two or more,

I checked yesterday with the hospital and that's what they told me.

Hi Australian Bandies,

I hope you are all doing well. I have lost a tonne of weight since I had my band inserted.

Here I am with my beautiful nephew Marcus. He was born last December. He is my heart.

Lots of love

Susannah

Hello Perth here

I am due a new band 12th May. I got my band June last year and lost 47 kilo in 6.5 months then I had some over fill probs. After 3 visits to ED Joondalup I was still suffering tightness when I got a bout of gastro.My surgeon was on and came to see me in ED sent me for Pictures and took me to theater and removed it. Boo Hoo apparently true to form I stacked the weight back on but have stabilized now the best news was at my post op appointment when he said he would replace it. I am still looking for a group of second time bands to talk with as I have a few queries.

Its actually good because when people about to be done ask me about the band I can say after all I went through ,the benefits are so good I cannot wait to get my new one.:lol:

It would be good if we had a chat site in Australia as good as the one on here.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
