Tried the Dukan diet as a 'last' diet before I decided to go for surgery, I lost 3kg in 3 weeks, but at the end of 3 weeks, I hated everything called meat/fish/chicken/diaries as it was all what I could have - I missed fruits, vegs, and juices. I gave up and decided to go for lap band. Had my surgery 2/5/12 and lost already 5kg, I am eating very well think I need a fill which I will have only in the 9th of June.

Today is 5 days post op for me, the gaz pain has gone, I can walk and live quite normally. However, I still feel the incisions and walk with vended back, I still need the pain killers to be able to do what I do quite normally. I don't advise u for May 31st though . Stick to your date in June, and believe me, u won't change your mind. At the end, the lap band really worth waiting for Update us on your last decision, and know that we re all here to support u whatever u want to do
