Hi Gordon

I am Elaine, 43 living in Crieff. I was banded by Mr David Galloway at the Nuffield on July 2nd. I went the privare route as my GP said it would take a long time on the NHS. I am still recovering from the surgery and dont know whether the pains I still have in my left side are gas pains or to do with the operation. I go back to see my consultant on August 8th but can phone the Nuffield anytime. Have you been banded yet or are you still waiting?

There aren't too many people on here from Scotland so I just wanted to say hi!

The enormity of my decision is just dawning and I am feeling a bit panicky at the moment mainly because I am so scared of eating the wrong thing. I will feel happier a month or so down the line when I know I am all healed and the band is working as it is supposed to. I am n a liquid/very sloppy diet which is designed to just slip through the band anyway. I have yet to experience the full feeling that will come from a filled band. It will be good to hear of your experiences.

Bye for now

Elaine
