  1. Hi all, I had my lap band fitted on Friday afternoon and I’m really finding it difficult I know to expect recovery to be hard I did my research, but I am seriously starting to doubt my decision to do this I am miserable and unhealthy as an overweight woman, but now questioning whether I can really do this as in so much pain now with the wind, and I really think I can feel the band tight inside my and my body rejecting it even tho it’s empty. I can only manage a few teaspoons of soup and water. Please someone tell me it settles down soon I really need some reassurance as at the moment I can’t see any light at the end of the tunnel. Thanks xx

    Two days post surgery and utterly miserable

    I did get pain medicine just liquid paracetamol. The wind pain has eased off this morning but seems to return in the evening and I’m suffering badly with aesophagus spasms I didn’t know what they were but looked through this site and found some info on them. I feel a bit better about what’s happening now knowledge is power and all that! Feeling vulnerable is the worst! Going to talk to the weight loss support team today about getting something that stops the spasms as they are intolerable. Thank you for replying xx

    Struggling with pre op diet

    Hi all, Im new here getting a lap band next Friday but am on day two of pre op diet milk shakes and 1 meal a day and I’m finding it really challenging. I can’t stop thinking about food and I’m really hungry and grumpy not very good company at all. I find the fact that I still have to cook meals for my young kids very difficult. I am so worried as I’m finding this so tough so goodness knows how I will cope post surgery on just liquid! Any tips on getting through the next few weeks? Many thanks
