Guest guest Posted March 28, 2000 Report Share Posted March 28, 2000 1. Name? Rice 2. Age/Birthdate? 28/14.04.1971 3. Occupation? PhD Student 4. Location? Brisbane 5. Starting out weight? 143kg 6. Date of operation? 2 October 1999 7. Where did you have it? Wesley Hospital, Auchenflower 8. Doctor? Dr Fielding 9. Current weight? 100kg 10. Any problems? Not really. I put on about 6 kilos when I had an adjustment from 4.0 to 1.5 ccs in the band. I had it tightened again and they have gone very quickly. I get pretty bad reflux at night, but I view that as a temporary problem that I can put up with. No problems with the band, the surgery or the post-op assistance from my Doctor and his office. All excellent. 11. General feelings about the surgery? Health wise, the very best thing I have ever done. 12. Anything else to add? I can't imagine what it was like to be as heavy as I was. Recently I was in Sweden with a backpack (33 kilos) and I nearly died after ten minutes walking. I used to have that plus another few bricks in the bottom ever minute of every day! PS. I'm a bit of a lurker on the list, but always happy to answer any questions! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
