Hi camdana, if you have co morbidities they will perform lapband surgery on you. Every case is individual. You are more likely to get it as a private patient than public.

Hi Shazz,
No I am not a Ballarat 'Person' as such, but live in the region thereabouts, so I can meet up at Ballarat and Werribee.
I have a couple of days off work, so thought it was a great time to meet up with Linda and anyone else who comes along.
I have been an avid reader of Linda's journey since I found these sites, and been in touch with her during my own banding experience (14th Jan, with Deb, Myf and Yvonne) We are all band buddies.
So I am looking forward to finding some more new friends.
See you then.

What about going to a Melbourne surgeon? If you go to a large centre in Melbourne there are many advantages compared to a solo country surgeon. I go to the Melbourne Bariatric Surgery Centre in Windsor where there are about 6 surgeons and 6 physicians all operating from the one centre. The service is excellent, dietitian and counsellor also on hand.

Hi,
I was wondering if any of you guys, who had the surgery preformed in Ballarat, had a low BMI. (30-35)My BMI is 31 and trying to find a surgeon who will perform the op. |

Hi guys
I'll try and make it but can't promise anything!
Linda, there's also one more new person coming along who is thinking about being banded - suprisingly, I can't remember her name =p

Hi Marg,
Are you a Ballarat person? or do you live in the district? I live in Kyneton but am happy to travel anywhere to meet up with others who have been banded or in the throes of the "monumental decision" to be banded. Looking forward to seeing you next week.

Hey Shaz
I havne't been online for ages, and thought it was time that I started to try and meet up with new friends.
So I am looking forward to seeing you at the Ballarat lunch also.
Will be nice to be able to put faces to names.
I have met a lot of nice ladies at the Werribee meet ups too.
They are a great bunch of helpful friendly ladies.
see you at lunch.

Hi Alison, no I didn't have a sleep test. I did fib a bit when Dr Kemp asked me if I snore I made very light of it. I used to snore like a truckie according to my daughter LOL I know what you mean about your comfort zone. It is so much better after you have lost some weight. I have just had 3 nights in Melb for a wedding and I took more clothes for that than I think I used to own before losing weight. It will only get better for you. I promise.
