Hi all
So its been almost 6 weeks since i was banded, I was lucky i didnt experience any pain and was back at work the next week.
I was weighed for the first time on the 2nd October and in 6 weeks (2 weeks on optifast) and 4 weeks after the op i have lost a total of 22 kilos.
I'm getting my first fill next week (22nd Oct) which cant come any sooner as i now seem to be hungry all the time, instead of eating i have a glass of water.

I had to have a giggle at your post here, as i see it's not the 27th of October but yet you have weighed yourself, i wouldn't be able to help myself.

I havent been on this site for a couple of years but thought it was time I got back on.
For any Melbourne folk out there - this Sunday 22nd Nov there is a get together at the settlement hotel in Cranbourne. From 1pm a group of us are getting together, we meet in the cafe area just insdie the main front door, NOT in the bistro. There is a little mezzanine area that we use. Anyone and everyone is welcome whether banded, thinking of banding or family,friend of bandits. These get togethers have been known to go from lunch to dinner. There is plenty of variety for those wanting to order liquids,food, or just come along for a cup of coffee or a drink. No pressure just come along and say hello and youll be made most welcome. The settlement is on the corner of south gippsland highway and camms rd, diagonally opposite mc donalds.
