Great News from the Big Fella

Damo, that's awesome. I only lost 2.4 in the whole two weeks, but then I was norty and ate things I shouldn't have. It got to the point where I was almost passing out at work, so I did it for the energy. Op was done and now I wouldn't change it for anything. Did what I needed to do at the time, I can live with that.

Hey Bopper, I was done Wednesday with Dr Copp at greenslopes. You'll be fine. I'm still sore but I still think it was worth it.

Thanks. I'm getting a bit nervous. Only 4 more sleeps.

Hope you have a speedy recovery with minimal pain. I'll keep an eye out for your posts on how you're traveling.

It'll be worth it, Damo! I was self-pay too and it has been worth every penny to me.

That is such a relief. Nothing to do now, but sit back and wait. Very exciting.

good news Damo! Congrats. You will defintely be done by now. Hope you aren't in too much pain.

hey guys

home & feel real bad

lots of gas pain and cant seem to keep Clear Liquids down. keep burping up the liquids as frothy thick flemy Fluid

Dr Copp come and made sure band was fully empty as he said sometimes there is a mL in there and that felt better for a bit but he also said that the swelling could be making it tight too which aint allowing fluid to flow freer than they are

well he cant be too concerned because he let me go home today but WTF is going on with me ?

feel like utter crap

cheers

Damo
