| Hi guys, Just wanted to share something that may help somebody on here. I have struggled with high cholesterol for quite sometime now, even after being banded for 8 months I still had a reading of 8.5. My dietician told me that my diet was fine and if it wasnt coming down it was most likely something that I couldnt change but to try plant sterol products such as the margerines and milks. Yesterday I got the results back and am happy to say that my cholesterol is now in the normal range :) :) :) So if anyone is struggling with high cholesterol I think that it is well worth a try. Also you can get a cheaper version of the margerine from ALDI which had worked for me. Ok guys I will stop rambling on now. Random x |

| Thank you Maggie for your inspirational message. I can only imagine how you are feeling and I hope I feel this way too. I am having my op on 19th Jan 2010 and I am also nervous yet excited at the same time. Continue with your good work Nat |

| Hi, I was banded last month on the 18th, I have just started the mashie stage, it's so good to have some tasty food. I have had some problems, low blood pressure, so I am off those meds...yeah... My GP arranged for my blood tests and urine but thats all the tests I had. I feel I have done the only thing possible to help myself, I don't expect to lose weight unless I work at it and do it myself. Before my surgery not a day went by that I didn't wonder wether I was doing the right thing but now after dropping 16 kilos and feeling so good about it I know I did the right thing. Just go with it and do what the doc tells you, I guess if you really hate it they can remove it. Good Luck Maggie |

| The psych visit is basically to make sure you are not doing this on a whim, or think it's going to be a quick fix. So relax, if you've spent 2 years already working on this, then you won't have a prob with the psych eval. Good luck! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| I didn't have to do the psych thing, but I imagine it's just to check that you are ready for a complete lifestyle change. I guess they want to (theoretically) make sure that you are prepared to make changes. I know many people think this is a cure-all and an easy way out. Nothing could be further from the truth. It takes commitment, perseverance, and dedication. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Ive just had my first appointment for Lapband, I am going through the public system and because of this I have to go through their criteria. I have to go for a sleep study so they can check for sleep apnea so they can sort anything out before any surgery. I also have to see a psychiatrist and this is to see if I'm a suitable candidate. I was told that some people got a no answer back so I'm kind of worrying about this side of it. I also had to fill in some trick questions while I was there, almost like a phyc assessment which was a little daunting. Id hate to have waited two years for this appointment to be turned down because I'm nuts. Can anyone tell me what this psychiatrist stuff is all about Julie |

| I found when I was on fluid stage and felt like I was gonna pass out that I was dehydrated and tired. I had a few drinks of water and a big sleep and felt a ton better. Linda |

| The very best thing for nausea in the initial stages after banding is calypo iceblocks... I cant tell you how much they saved me...also baked beans in a small tin of tomato soup with light cheese melted through then blitz with a hand wizz. sound decadent but it works with the "im gonna throw up or pass out" syndrome |

| hi all again, ive found this song and the words are so meant for us banders,there is a few lines that are soo true. "I believe i can fly" If i can see it, then i can do it, If i can just believe it, theres nothing to it i believe i can fly i believe i can touch the sky i think about it every night and day spread my wings and fly away I believe i can soar See me running through that open door i believe i can fly see i was on the verge of breaking down sometimes silence can seem so loud ther are miracles in life i must achieve but first i know it starts inside of me so so true katie xxx |

| Hi everybody, This is my first post, so I hope I'm doing it right. I have had all my meetings and am about to meet with my surgeon and make a final decision as to whether to go ahead with the operation. I just wanted to hear from people who have had it done as to whether they have had any regrets, if so, what were they. I would also love to hear from people who are happy they went ahead. Has having the operation impacted your life in a negative way at all and have social situations been difficult to handle i.e eating noticibly less then everyone else etc I have read a lot of posts on this site which has already been really helpful but I just need a bit more reassurance/guidance. Thanks |

| Hi Losin...I am struggling along at the moment with complacency as I said.I get complimented about how much I have lost and everyone is so happy for me ...so then go and have a few beers with friends or eat high cal food instead of getting my self back to basics.It is bloody stupid but I am enjoying the lifestyle so it is hard to realize that the bloody weight will creep back on and I won't reach my goal weight by my 2 year bandiversary...May 2010.I have to get the head back into gear.Luckily I haven't put any weight on..thank god... but have lost very litttle in the last few months.I need to get my head right again.Still would not change a thing but the long term is a worry for me..12 -15kg to go...anyhoo...best of luck to all...Col | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
