| Hi eveyrone.... Well hubby and I had surgery on Friday and came home yesterday. Hubby was doing much better than I was but today I feel a bit better, came out of surgery with a really low pulse rate and a massive headache which I still have and oh the shoulder tip pain which eases with a heat pack. Still have loads of gases in me and hubby has no pain, no nothing you wouldn't know he was even done except today he is a bit tired. Hey Tas sorry I ran off without saying goodbye on Saturday, nurses were in with you guys and my son was running late for work. Hope all goes well with you and your friend you are both really lovely ladies and would love to keep in touch with you both. Good luck to everyone who so far has been banded and good luck to those still to be banded. Cheers Helen |

| Hi - have just updated the list and added me back. I had to edit it a bit to get all of us on it as I think we have reached the message letter limit. FYI - there are 29 of us so far. NSWx3 VICx16 SAx4 WAx2 NTx1 TASx3 I will leave it up to the message board guru's (not me - I am a newbie to these boards!) to decide how we can keep track of new July bandits. Gosh there are a lot of us! Lizzy |

| Count me in! Hope everyone who's been banded in the past few days is feeling good & for those doing it in the next few days - we'll be thinking of you- VBOL! Kate |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Arn I think the July post op thread is a great idea because we will all be around the same stage with out journey. 8 days to go! This time next week I will be biting what is left of my nails! lol |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Hey tc You're at the right place to get support. You can do this. You've taken the big step - know you've made the right choice. There is no way you'd have had the surgery if it wasn't. The rest are the little steps that will get you where you need to be. What do you need from your fellow July bandsters? Kate |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| please i need help/support to get through this, banded july 1st!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| THANX, I JUST GOT BANED JULY 1ST, HOW ISIT GOING FOR YOU? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Hi all I am getting banded on Monday I have lost 7kgs on the optifast shake in 2 weeks and now my husband wants to try it. I am getting a bit nervous. I have tried so many diets over the years and nothing worked until now.Dr Watson is doing my banding ,will let you know how I go.And good luck to every one that is going to have lapbanding |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Kate, That is great about the embracing the exercise thing - hopefully my treadmill will become my friend again. The lip balm is a great idea - my lips get so dry anyway. Good luck with your goals - maybe we could start our own July Bandits sub thread of starting weights etc and goals, weight related and otherwise. Like my wanting the tray table to come down flat on the plane!!! What does everyone think. Cheers Arn xx |

| Hi Lizzy, I k now what you mean about Dr Taylor's rooms - right next to the Cafe and a nice cafe too!!!! He is skinny isn't he???? But it is weird walking into a waiting room of pretty much all round people. Hopefully we can meet up at that cafe one day and have a skim milk something in a teeny tiny cup :) I have head Dr and nutritionist in a fortnight.....just after Opti starts. See you soon Arn |

| Hi everyone quick update on my journey. I saw the psycologist and dietician yesterday. All is well and on my goodness only 11 days to go. I as so happy I stumbled accross this forum as I have picked up so many answers to questions I hadn't even thought of. In fact the dietician and psycologist thought I was very well informed. It's been great reading about your sugeries went and how you are feeling straight after them, its put my mind at ease. The only thing Im a little concerned over is having a five hour drive back the day after sugery. To all those recently banded, heres hoping youre all back to normal everyday routines as quickly as possible. |

| Hi All, Home fron hosptial this morning about 9am - was banded yesterday afternoon. It all went very smoothly. I was worried that I cheated on Optifast a few times and had some fish, bit it wasn't an issue at all and they didn't even weigh me. It was a bit uncomfortable getting to sleep last night, but by 5am I was up and showered and walking around, and have only have about 4 soluble Panadol since then. I have been getting some referred pain in my shoulders, but apparently that is normal. Rob, I made up a big plunger of decaf coffee and used that to mix with the vanilla optifasts shake and it tasted heaps better - also good if you put ice in, and drink through a straw. I went through Knox as well and that seems to be ok from our list of things we are allowed to have. Good luck everyone! Leah |

| Hey Arn, My goal to start with is to go from 165 kg to 105 kg. of course I have smaller goes between here & there, but ultimatley to get to 105 kg. My surgon believes that the band can help me get there & if I "embrace the exerscize" I can get into the 90's. Suprisingly I have started to embrace the exerscize- I lost about 12kg in the Opti month by walking every day & I'm amazed at the difference the walking has made on my losses & how I feel. The hint I add to take to hospital is lip balm. Lips get very dry. Also the pillow - I held a soft pillow over my tummy on my 300 km trip home & it saved me a lot of discomfort. Keep up the Optifast & the activity - I've had no shoulder pain etc & I put it down to walking prior to the banding & taking a couple of little walks in the hours after the surgery. And don't underestimate the power of sleep! Kate |

| Hi Leanne, Yes, Dr Watson is really good. The staff at Hollywood have a lot of respect for him. They also say he's very particular about how, when and where things are done - a good thing I think. He's done the op so many times he knows exactly how he wants things to be. He's also friendly and approachable. I saw him this morning before I was discharged and he gave me a detailed run-down of how the op went. You'll like him, too, I think. All I've eaten since the band was placed is a little bit of jelly. I'm not the slight bit interested in food. The panadol and anti-nausea tablets work well for me, too. Thanks everyone for your comments. Good luck with your op. It's the start of a new you. Cheers, Julie |

| Hi all, Congrats to everyone who has been banded and good luck to you all that are due in the next little while. I have 9 days to go. Its day 6 on the optifast and I hate to bring it up but I am starving! LOL. But unlike most people I really dont mind the shakes, I have the chocolate one and even though it doesnt taste like a choc milk shake I really dont mind it! Its been good to read how everyone is feeling, I realise that I might just be normal! I'm feeling the same as everyone else, very very nervous but I just cant wait until it is over! Once I am back home I will be happy, and I'm ready to start my new life. I'm not really scared of failing because due to health reasons there is absolutly no other choice, I cant fail! It has to work or else I'm in big trouble! So I am very positive about that side of it, just scared about the surgery and band slippage and all that type of thing! Well enough of my rambling, and thanks for the hospital tips! Mel |

| Hiya - I keep dropping off the list! I will put myself back on. Had an appointment with the dietican on Thursday at Dr Taylors rooms in Wahroonga NSW. I wonder if he realises that his rooms are right beside the cafeteria - probably not the best place for an obesity clinic! Also while I was waiting the receptionist asked if Dr Taylor would like a coffee. He said yes please with REGULAR milk!! Doesnt it just suck how skinny people(he is very skinny) can have regular milk and we have to have skim low fat no fun everything! Go figure! Well done to the recently banded. Good to hear you are home safe and well. Lizzy |
