Hi Bechill84,
Have a look around this forum, read as much as you can and I'm sure you'll find lots of bandsters who will happily answer any specific questions you may have.
Also, why don't you try talking to your GP? She will probably be able to help you too.
Cheers,
Silva |

Hi there,
I know it's not for lap banding, but I just saw details for a registered trial using the Intragastric Balloon - see http://www.anzctr.org.au/trial_view.aspx?ID=82756 (remove spaces) for details. It is currently open to recruitment. One thing to note in the key criteria: it appears the candidates must have a BMI of between 30-40 (if I understand it correctly).
Cheers,
Silva |

One of the places on the net to find out about different trials is: http://www.rewardsforresearch.com/
They aren't doing a lot of obesity research at the moment but are doing some in Brisbane.

best of luck.
I am also part of some medical trials regarding Lap banding. Which state are you in? What trials are you part of? What surgeon/ medical clinic are you under?

Gee that is great news for you! I saw your other thread when you were saying you didn't have the funds for the procedure - how fast things have moved for you. I gather you have now started Optifast - how is that going?
