Hi to all those who said they would be in for a Perth Bandsters Get Together. Sorry I didn't contact you all when I was home from site last time, but time just kinda got away from me...

I'm hoping this poll will help us to reach a decision on how, when and where our little soiree will occur... Pick as many options as you are happy to do (ie all available dates, all acceptable options). The one(s) with the most votes wins.

Hey. I have been away for a while because my son has been sick and has been in PMH since last Saturday :-( He got septic arthritis in his hip. Apparantly he got it because he had tonsilitis and the bacteria travelled from his tonsils to his hip. He has surgery to clean and remove the puss......He also has to wear a brace for 3 weeks to prevent his hip from dislocating...

Anyhoo, to cut a long story short, I probably won't be able to attend. We have been told to keep him at home as his immune system is low due to the antibiotics, my husband is away so I won't be able to get out.....maybe not till the end of Feb.

What a rough week, jeez I am drained

Wow that IS a rough week! Sorry to hear that, Cherry, and my best wishes for your son's speedy recovery!! Hang in there, mate, and don't worry, I'm sure we'll have more than one get together, so you can come join us at a later date...

Fanny and Cherry Blue

Next time Fanny is back in Perth how about we meet up then? Maybe some more Perth people might see this thread between now and then and might like to meet too - if not, I'm still happy to meet up with you guys, even if it's just for a coffee at my place or something.

Amy, that sounds great. My son is on antibiotics for 4 weeks. Its been pretty tuff here and could do with a break.... Its been so hard to lose weight while staying at PMH. I will be able to get my mother in law to babysit, if given enought notice, so a coffee sounds great :-)

Greetings All: Do you know of a lady who has a screen name of Katydid? Her real name is Helene. She lives in Western Australia and has had some horrible complications with her band. I think she said her new surgeon is Dr. Padovan or something like that. His office is in Waikiki. Katy visits a board on here very frequently that is a 50's board. She had surgery on Monday morning and we are all on pins and needles wanting to know if she is ok and how the surgery went. If anyone can help me find the Dr. or the hospital she might be in I'd like to contact the hospital to see if she is ok.

Thank you from all her friends,

Susan Powell, Baltimore, MD USA

      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.

      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.
