G'Day from Down Under!!!

Hi... never posted one of these before... but hello to you all... I was banded on 19th August 08, and lost 11 Kgs prior to banding.. I am now down another 3.5 Kgs since... My first fill appointment is not until mid October so it will be interesting if this 'satiety' lasts till then. Funny feeling.. your brain says you are full.. your tummy does not believe it and seems to be grumbling because it can't find anything. Had the seemingly

usual wind/gastic pains but in general not too bad.... cannot sleep on my tummy though... and when I tried it last night the pain in my chest was

quite vicious.. and has ached a lot since... but that too is improving... I have lost nearly 32 lbs and that is fantastic for me.. so really looking forward to the diminishing size and also to say a big thanks to all the other forum users who are helping me in so many ways just by letting people know what they have been through... CHeers for now.. Trish

Hi Jo... it is all very exciting isn't it... I am amazed at the freedom I am already feeling from not having food rule the roost... I know there will be ups and downs, but even at this early stage I am really happy... I was banded about noon on the 19th with Dr Caska on the Central Coast.. I am 54.5 f and live in Umina.... Cheers for Now, Trish
