I work 10hr/6days and I was tired. Only person who knew about my surgery was the Fire Chief (I am not a firefighter' date=' just a dispatcher). Everyone thought I was out sick for four days. I feel GREAT!!! Some co-workers still have no clue, but think it is unhealthy for me to be losing weight so fast. I tell them not to worry I have everything under control.[/quote']

Wow long hours! I have a desk job so hopefully will be a bit easier! I'm not planning to tell anyone as I only started the job 2 months ago! Glad to here you feel great - looking forward to feeling that too soon :-)

Good luck with it - I found the day before a bit like a dream, was this all real? and also part of me was wanting to run screaming to the nearest McDonalds saying please don't do this!!! But I ignored that voice and got on with it and here I am now 1 day post op :-)

How did going back to work feel? Did you tell your colleagues? How are you doing now?

It's great that I know there are people who are going through the same - first night was ok just lay like a rigid corpse in bed not moving :-) see you all later x

Thank you ! How are you doing? any tips for first few days?

I have just had my lap band fitted and I can't believe in a way that I have done it!! Now the journey begins - apprehension and excitement all in one!! Will be checking out this forum to get inspiration and advice - good luck to everyone who had their surgery today! Would be lovely to share this journey :-)

Hi I'm booked in for my operation on 5th May - getting nervous now but so glad I found this site and can share with others! Good luck to everyone and I look forward to chatting more :-)

Hi i live near coventry and I'm going to have a Lap band in the 5th may so would be great to keep in touch with you all :-)
