| Brian said it ALL Jay....he is such a wise ( you thought I was going to say ar5e...didn't you Brian!) soul. He is such a wise soul and just knows the right things to say. You are right this is for YOU! (...and it's about time!) However, the reprecussions affect the entire family in such positive ways. It's great!! Another bandit once said to me that in all the research he did about the banding it never mentioned anywhere that he'd gain a social life. That was a 'light bulb moment' for me when he said that. We have a great social life...with our group alone! Go for it Jay!...and remember we are a great support system for you via this board or better still if you choose to come along to out Get Togethers from time to time. We do meet rather regulary! vikki |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Jay, You go for it. You're family are right about one thing. When you get the band it does change their life...you will be happier, healthier and as a result far more able and willing to participate in family activities without feeling knackered. You will want to go on holidays and show off your healthier body with new found confidence. You will still enjoy most of the foods you currently...just smaller amounts. Eating out is still a great experience. Good luck Brian |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Thanks to Carol and vikki and mytime for your great messages. I guess Im a big sook and Im getting comments from my family about me having the banding they think it will change THEIR lives....hmmmm hello....for once in 35 years this is about me!!!!they think i will suddenly become the kind of person who wont want to go on holidays or go out to dinner and wont want to cook for them any more. You know the kind of comments people make to fat people like"we love you just how you are" well sorry guys i dont love me just how i am!!! please keep telling me to go for it i need the encouragement...and thanks again Jay |

| LOL...I tell you what...I seem to be having quite a few dates with my boyfriend unchaparoned. We shouldn't be left to our own devises...that could be dangerous! In fact we nearly ended up having a wet T-Shirt competition. We could see the rain falling over the Swan and moving rather fast towards us. Thank God it was just a quick dash for me to my car. Brian got his tail wet! LOL vikki |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Marion You know the term...spreading yourself thin...that's what Brian did to lose weight....LOL |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Brian you are a naughty little boy, I can see I should have been there to chaperone! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| I have just posted some moremphotos from the Pool Night on Bandsters in the 'Perth TEDdy Bandits' Album II Brian |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Oh you pikers missing out on JL this morning..poor Vikki had to put up with me. I tried boring the pants off her by showing her a heap of photos, but her knicker elastic is obviously made from quality stuff cos the pants remained intact LOL.. Brian |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Hi folks, sorry I didn't make JL, it was just too cold and wet to make the trip. I did go for a 7km walk from my house to Penguin Island and the sun stayed out most of the time. As soon as I got there the heavens opened and it teamed down. Luckily my friend was there and dropped me home! LOL Marion |

| Hi Jay - I grew up in Woodlands, so know your area VERY well. I now live south of the river (don't hold that against me tho' - rofl) I have been overweight my entire life, but finally saw a Dr re banding in late Feb, was banded May 14 and have lost a total of 19.7 kgs. It is the best thing I have done and would do it again in a heart beat. I have 4 kids I want to see grow up and get married and have kids of their own, I wanted to be healthy and do things instead of saying - 1 day..., I want to come off my blood pressure medication, I want to buy clothes froma normal shop again. Yes, I have a small problem with bringing some foods back up if they don't agree with the band, but that changes from day to day, it really is a whole new learning curve. I have had 2 fills and have 3mls in a 10ml band and alltho' I haven't reached the "sweet spot" for restriction, I am not hungry all the time like before and have stopped looking for food all the time. It is so 'freeing'. Go for it Jay - I have a lot to loose, and am loosing about a kilo a week - I am happy with that because I am told this is a good rate to loose but this will settle back to ½ kg a week or there abouts along the way. Good Luck |

| Hi Jay,, for me the hardest thing with banding is the fact that I cannot have any sort of drink with my food, I have to wait about 25 mins to have a coffee, water or whatever. This is what was advised by my surgeon and I have stuck to it,, each time I tried to drink with a meal,,,yukkkkkkk the pain, and the barfs,,not nice.But having said that, a small price to pay.I know several people who can eat and drink tho. The best,, wow where do I start. The fact that I have lots more energy and look so much younger andddddd the point you made about wanting to see your grandkids grow up. My son is a bit slow off the mark there so I do not have any grandies yet, but I too wish for a longer life to see a lot more of the world and my dear friends and now it will happen more easily. As Vikki said , if I needed this surgery every year, I would do it without a doubt. The one piece of advice would be,,GO FOR IT. Take care. Carol |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| OKkkkkkkkay.......I'll be there.....hope I find some enthusiasm on the way. Might be a bit late as I have to make a stop on the way! Jay...my piece of advice is for post surgery and that is to stay ahead of you pain meds for the first few day. ( now don't panic...most people breeze thru recovery! ) I will say that I wish I had been able to have this surgery years ago AND if having this band meant that I would have to have surgery every year I would in a heart beat...LOL thankfully we don't have to! vikki |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Hi Carol thanks so much for your message. Whats the hardest things about banding and whats the best ? If you could give anyone one piece of advice what would it be? I'd love to hear other peoples opinions as well. Jay |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| That should have been postpone...but you got it! B they just said on the radio as I was dropping the kids off to school that we are expecting a thunder storm later this morning....I know the sun is trying to sneak thru just now. Thoughts?? vikki |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| I'm going to do it...even if is just a mini one LOL Brian |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
