  1. Thanks for the advice, you will have to let me know how you get on, i bet u are really nervous, i know i would be. 4 weeks after you have had yours i will have mine. let me know how quick you end up losing weight. i live in the uk, and i live outside the London, i am 32 miles away from London. And my surgery is in London. anyway keep in touch would love to hear from you again and i will let you have my e mail address. Good luck Helsy
  2. Hello everyone who reads this, I am having lap band surgery on May 6th 2008 and i am a bit scared, it'd the fear of the unknown i think. I am 114kgs BMI 41.1. I was just wondering can anyone tell me what it's like after, are you in much pain, after as well as after about a week? Did you go on a liquid diet before surgery, if so how did you get on, i was told 2 weeks before. How long does operation take? Is there much scarring? Would love to hear from anyone, and if possible would love to have e mail buddy's who have had this op or anyone in the same position as me look forward to hearing from you all x x
