Hello from Adelaide

Hi all, I am being banded on 28th May in Adelaide, Australia. I am really excited that it's only 10 days away! I started the process in September 07 so it's great to know the wait is finally over.

I had heaps of questions about banding, such as vegan meal replacements and whether flying affects the band, but so far these have all been answered already on this forum! I have gained lots of valuable information from here so I thought I had better join. I will let you know how the banding goes

Thanks for the well wishes. It's only 4 days to go now so I am really excited! I'm not on any special diet yet, although I have been having Ensure a couple of times a day to make sure I am as healthy as possible with all those vitamins

I feel like I have jumped through so many hoops - I have had multiple pre-op blood tests, x-rays, ultrasound, ECG, endoscopy, etc. I have a 'last minute' lung function test on Tuesday 27/05 as the surgeon is concerned about my asthma. I have passed all the other tests ok, so I'm not expecting any problems. I am looking forward to having the surgery over & done with so they will just leave me alone (apart from the fills of course)!
