Ukangel - i've spoken to a lovely nurse at droitwich when I first started my sojurn but as I'm only an hour from Sheffield that is where I had my consultation and where I'll have the procedure. My Surgeon is Mr Ackroyd. How much have you lost since you started? My sister and I have just been discussing portion size ( she's been offered surgery on NHS as she has type 2 diabetes) I still haven't let on to anyone about my forthcoming surgery though! annie

ukangel - I'm booked in for 6th march at sheffield, I haven't heard a dickie bird from the hospital group and have a big fat cheque waiting for them. Omg! I've bin on 'Houson Bandster' web site some of the horror stories are really freaking me out! I'm doing three meals a day at the mo and having a banana milk shake every day.. ahh so this is how to diet..?

thankyou so much for your responses - my god! it's like i have this huge weight (in every sense of the word) not wanting to admit to anyone what I'm doing.. and feeling aprehensive about it. I've read everything I can and tend to home in on the negatives, I'm a single mum with 3 kids (one at uni) so I have responsibility for them too. But I've come this far I can't quit now!! I'm staying overnight in hospital and it's about an hour from my house.. I shall just have to get loads of liquid painkiller and hope my automatic does the job. UKAngel I'm having my op through the hospital group too - very nice people but I have wondered who was in charge! my contact gave me her mobile number and said I could call her at any time. Anyway will keep you posted - am trying to do 3 meals a day and from a confirmed 'grazer' it's very hard - next week slimfast I suppose then the opp...!! annie

:hungry: Hello uk lap band type people, I'm having my surgery (sheffield) in a few weeks and beginning to get anxious! I haven't told any of my family as they'd think me mad and the gossip would be rife.. so I feel like I have this huge secret. I'm hoping I'll be able to drive myself back from the hospital.. any support from fellow bandsters would be great. Thanks annie
