Hi Guys

My name is Anna and I live in VICtoria Australia. I was banded 4 1/2 years ago and have lost a total of 60 kilos and have kept the weight to date.

I was banded by a kind and beautiful surgeon called Harry Frydenbers who is situated at Epworth hospital ion Richmond. Since having the lap band I have had many family and friends also do the surgery and be successful in losing as much weight as me and even more.

I highly recommend the procedure to anyone who struggled to lose weight and to keep it off. I love my life now and I truly believe that the band saved my life!

Anna,

Thanks for posting your information. It is great to hear about success stories that are over a year or two.

I have lived in Victoria. For about 1 year I went to school in Turok and lived in St. Kilda. What a beautiful place to live, I hope to visit sometime again.

I currently am living outside of San Diego Ca. Again thanks for posting your success story.

Another lady to inspire us newbies. Welcome Anna! When you are ready, would you share some pictures with us? I find the picture threads enough to make me fight through this.

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