I have had a look, can't figure out what the problem is Bev. Maybe it is just taking a long time to go through cyberspace ~ damn those spies from the FBI, they had been leaving us alone and not giving us any grief !!!!!!

Hi Troy,

Welcome .

I am from Lake Macquarie near Newcastle as well.

I get banded next week,and I truly wish I would be 37. Don't waste to much time.

It can only get better when u banded.

Any questions don't hesitate to ask. Do you already have a surgeon in mind?

Hi Sabine,

Fancy someone else from Lake Macquarie - that is great.

I have been told about Dr Tim , but I don't know if he bulk bills. I recently had a gastroscopy and the surgeon at the Mater was talking to me about banding - he was telling me I might be able to get it down at Hunter - so I don't know who will do it then, still just looking at all my options.

Where are you having yours done next week??

Hello Troy,

Welcome you will

find a wealth of information here from recipes to holiday tips. The crowd here

make the banding trip a lot easier, especially on the not so easy days.
