Hi Mel

Welcome to Sydband, glad you took the step to post. Wow six boys -

bet there's always a footy game or cricket match happening in your

backyard. Six delightful reasons to have the surgery!

Be sure to ask any questions - we'll try to answer them for you. I

was banded in May 2003 - my weight loss was better than I ever

anticipated and my lifestyle has changed dramatically. Off the

couch and out there participating in life. I even walked the

infamous Kokoda Trail in Papua New Guinea in October with my hubby

and 2 teenaged children!

Once again welcome aboard and I look forward to following your

progress. Hopefully you'll join us at one of our luncheons.

Take care,

Lorraine
