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

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

      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?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
