hi, i am a lower bmi soon to be bandster! my starting bmi is 32 and i would like to lose about 50lbs and keep it off forever! i couldnt find anyone in the uk that would band me with such a low bmi so decided to try abroad. worried that i would pay my deposit only to be told that i wasnt fat enough but found out that the lowest bmi patient that they had only had a bmi of 28.8 so it should be ok :clap2: i've tried and failed nearly every diet always end up fatter than at the start of the diet at the beginning of every year i promise myself that i'll lose weight by the summer and each year i'm fatter that the year before! :cry

i'll be in hotel the 1 night before the op then will spend 3 nights in the clinic post-op which is quite reassuring. i've been fervently reading about everyones lapband experiences and now find myself worrying about fills etc probably the same things that everyone else has worried about :cry also people have mentioned the pb'ing so now im worrying in advance that if i violently vomit that i'll pee my pants at the same time! :omg:

my pre-op intstructions are: light meals day before and nil by mouth midnight onwards before surgery day. :hungry:

i've only told my mum and sister and won't be telling anyone else about it :guess

i'm being banded on 29th May in Prague, luckily i don't have to follow a pre-op diet! just a light meal the day before and nothing after midnight:hungry:

oh i just been to have a look at the other forum i would like to join in but is it just for people having surgery in belgium?

hiya, i'm from hampshire and i'm having lapband in Prague in just over a week's time :clap2: where and who did your surgery? i'm going to check out that link you posted

Hi there i'm Sally i've been looking on this great forum for advice because i'm booked for lapband in Prague on 29 May 2007. although im 'only' obese and not morbidly obese the surgeon may decline to fit me with a lapband and if this is the case i will opt for the gastric balloon but i really do hope i get the lapband! :phanvan
