Thanks guys. Luckily, one of my friends was banded about 4 years ago, so I've been on the phone to her constantly asking about this and that. Things were a little bit different then, so I really appreciate the support from people banded recently. Georgina - are you coping ok or did you feel a bit "flat" at first. I feel a bit overwhelmed by it all and worried about every little thing that's happening with my body just now! However, I definately feel much better today!:tt2:

Hi guys. Well, I've gone and done it. I'll be honest IT IS NOT THE EASY OPTION!!!! The night and next morning after my surgery, I seriously thought "What the hell have I done to myself!". I felt nauseous and very "full", like a pressure was in my diaphram/upper chest area. I felt pretty miserable. However, another woman, who had her op the same time as me felt great, so everyone is different! I found it hard to get fluids over without feeling this "pressure" and slight nausea and I felt really sorry for myself!:tt2: 3 days on - I feel absolutely fine. I'm managing fluids no problem and had some clear Soup yesterday and have been instructed by my dietician to try some build-up or slimfast milkshakes (yuck)!! However, managing them fine. My family (who I think are trying to be nice) can see a difference already!!! My wound sites are a little painful - nippy really but nothing drastic. Managing to get around and about no problem. I'm going to wait to weigh myself - probably when I go for my follow-up appointment which is in a month. Thanks so much to everyone who has left messages of support. It has been very comforting to know there are others out there who have been through the same thing and are doing great. I'll keep everyone posted on my progress!! xx:biggrin2: N

Thanks so much everyone. Not really so nervous about tomorrow. More worried about how I'll manage when I get home! I will let you know how I get on. xx

Hi guys. After trawling the internet for weeks, I've actually found the thread I'm looking for. I live in Scotland and after thinking about this for ages, as well as researching everything I could on the subject - I'm getting my surgery on WEDNESDAY!!!!! nervous but excited - can't wait. I know its going to be tough, but can't wait to get some of this bulk off and hit the shops!! xx Weight Loss Tickers
