Hi All. I have just found this amazing site and i am having my band fitted Dec 3rd. Can anyone give me any tips on what to expect and if there are local places/pubs as i have my partner coming with me and he wii be staying at Camponile Hotel while i'm in hospital. I am really excited and a bit nervous, and would welcome all tips on pre/post op. Also is there anybody out there who can be my buddy/mentor it would be great to have someone to share this with who has been through the same journey.
