Hello!!!:wave: I am hopi...

Hello!!! I am hoping to have lap-band surgery done at the beginning of dec 04, at the moment I mainly read posts at the lap-band forum but lately there seems to be a lot of negativity and *****ing mainly due to the fact i think that there are so many people getting the lap band now that the room has become less personal and overcrowded lol Anyway i know there are a few australians that post to this site and was hoping we may be able to get this room up and running

Hello Clare, Lap-band is just becoming popular here in the USA. Seems the doctors favor RNY. Good Luck!!!!! Lu

Hi Claire-- I lived in Alice Springs, NT, for 6 years, and now live in Denver, Colorado, USA, for the past one year. Had my Lap RNY this past August, and doing great. I'm down 71.5 lbs (I forget what that translate to in kg now). Good luck to you!! Missing Australia, Karen Noble

Hello Karen, My husband is from Sydney--he has been in New York State for just past two years. He gets homesick now and then, too. We will visit within two years, but I don't know if we'll get to the Northern Territories. The closest we get to seeing Australia is the show Mcleod's Daughters! I am trying to get Laproscopic Gastric Banding, but it doesn't seem that my insurance will cover it. Meantime, I am trying to reduce on my own--very hard! Congratulations on your wonderful success. I just wanted to say hi from an Aussie admirer. Hooroo, Diane

Good luck I hope you have your lap band soon. What kind of approval do you have to have for that there?
