Any Brisbane bandsters?

Hi all,
I am going in for my band tomorrow the 17th March. I will keep you all up to date hopefully of my weight loss. What do you eat after you come out of hospital? I have been told only to take sustagen and vitamin supplement. Can anyone let me know what to expect in the first few weeks.

I'm very surprised your surgeon hasn't explained all this to you by now. It differs slightly with each surgeon, but the usual is 2 weeks of clear liquids only, followed by 2 weeks of mushy food - baby food consistency. Clear liquids can be clear fruit juices, water, etc. Some people also use milk based drinks or yoghurt toward the end of the 2 week period before going onto mush.

Hi,

Iwas banded by Dr Nicholson at Sunnybank. This was 5 years ago and have lost 65kg and maintained this for 3.5 years. I am now play sport and healthy. The only problem I have is reflux that has been only occurring for the last 6 months. Would love to talk to other brisbane people on their journey.

Hi all,

Congratulations on all of your successes. To the ones who have had their band for quite some time, how did you go within the first 12 months? I went on a holiday a couple of months after my surgery (for about 3 months) and had my band loosened so I wouldn't run into any trouble whilst overseas. Now that I'm back I've found it difficult to get back into a routine and I'm finding myself slipping into old habits. Any suggestions??

I am from Brisbane and was banded 5 years ago with Doug Nicholson Sunnybank
