Hi, bandster from down under

[Curley 0]

Hi, my name is Sharon. Ive been banded for one year & started at 230 pounds & am now 148! I love my band so much!

I have been lurking for awhile & you are a fantastic group of guys here!

My fill was rescently made looser because it was so tight that I was getting sick from not eatting enough healthy stuff. I really miss my tight fill as it made loosing weight super easy. Now I am finding it hard!

My doc was Professor O`Brien, one of the band pioneers. Hes so cool about stuff. We dont seem to have to do as much as other doctors make their patients OS. eg we dont have to go on liquids after or before a fill, and I didnt have to go on clear fluids after the band....infact anything that could go up a straw was fine by him.

Im married with 3 kids & work as an accountant.

Hope to get to know you all better , Sharon

Welcome, Sharon! There are a couple of other down-under bandsters on the board, and it's always good for us Yanks to get a different perspective. Congratulations on your great success. How much more were you hoping to lose? Any tips you'd like to share?

Welcome, Sharon!!! It's great to see a lapband veteran with such an amazing weightloss. Gives the rest of us inspiration. Thanks for sharing!

Hi Curly,

We have had the same doctor, his great, I had the operation two years ago, everything went well and its comfortable, but I try too much to eat and I have had Fluid taken out so I can eat healthier but I am now eating too much and drink heaps of Water when I know I shoudn't.

I had it done at The Avenue and go once a month and see Anna for a fill, I must admit I haven't been for three months.

Hope to catch up with you.

Hiya Sharon, you've done brilliantly well done, can you tell me if you had weeks when you stayed the same, did you ever think to yourself this isn't working I have such problems with self doubt at times and I just wondered if someone as sucessful as you felt the same.

Hi Sharon,

I've just joined the group tonight and then I spotted you. You can read my history in the other message I sent if you're interested.

I'm having my surgery on Friday and my heart is pounding just thinking about it.

Congrats on your success.

Take care, Rachel.
