This board is a free Yahoo board and as such, feel free to post anything that you feel appropriate to the topic, or start your own thread (topic). However, as a bit of simple “housekeeping”, you may find the answer you are looking for in an existing thread, or, add your question to the relative thread, and you should hopefully get some speedy responses! This way, the next person who has the same question may save themselves a little time. Please don’t be shy, join in & become a part of this great forum full of support, encouragement, advice & information! On all the pages you will see some numbers at the bottom and top of the page, indicating pages of past topics. It's well worth scrolling back, as many of the things you want to know have been addressed before. You will find a huge range of topics such as: * Cost. * Surgeons - scroll back to see which surgeons in your area. * Pre and post op advice * Optifast * General Advice * Get Togethers * Inspirational stories and many more. When returning to a long thread, click on the 'latest post' time/date (on the right) to see the most recent replies. To see all the latest threads, & automatically refresh the screen, click on 'Lap Band Surgery' (above the page numbers at the top) Have a look at the MSN Messenger thread...this is where a lot of the members of this board post their email addresses to chat on MSN. Sign up..it’s great fun and you can talk to many members in live time!! Try posting in the General Chat #2 thread first up, there is a lot of “traffic” in there, so a response may be quicker.

| Hi, My operation is going to be the 7th May. I am feeling like it is a good thing for me healthwise. I started the Optifast shakes 2 weeks ago and have lost 8kgs. My doctor said the more weight I lost preop the more room he will have to move in op (I am paraphrasing). Some friends have suggested I postpone the operation and give Optifast a go, but I realise that this is a behavioural modification exercise also - so after the operation there will be no drastic changes. I am nervous about it - mostly the scarring, but in the long run I will look great. Scars mean you have survived. Good luck with your op! |

| Hi Alofa Welcome to the Group. I have copied and pasted your message on the General Chat thread where more people tend to read. This thread is simply used to post a repeated welcome message to the newbies. Leanne |

| I had my band in August 2005, since the surgery I have terrible trouble swallowing. I can't eat anything solid and live on yogurt and things like that. I choke and then need to release. I have been checked and they said I was fine. What do you know about this, if anything? Thank you! Alofa |

| My operation is on 23rd May, am commencing optifast next week, have bought some of those essences, that have been mentioned, it has taken me 6 months to decide, have been having anxiety over what a major challenge this will become. I just hope I can cope with 3 weeks of shakes before op., and 3 weeks of liquids after. I live in NSW southern highlands area. What I haven't seen is the amount of days in hospital and level of pain, need some real answers. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Hi winsome Welcome. In case you are not aware this is an Australian site not that, that matters, everyone around the world is welcome here. The majority of us on this board have had our surgery done in Australia. I'd like to suggest that you repost your message on the General Chat thread, you will get more responses there. Leanne |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Mexico? Hrmmmmmmmmmmm.... a little far away for most of the people on this board I would imagine... The airfare over would cost just as much as the surgery!!! Good luck for your surgery! :) Erika xx www.mylapbandblog.blogspo t.com |
