  14. Hi nikkx i fly to belguim on the day of your operation what hotel are you staying at.
  15. hiya everyone just followed the link to read the article on the 3 women who had the gastric band and can not believe some of the comments people have left on there i can see why people choose not to tell anyone about surgery because you get judged so much i didint really want people to know but my mom has been telling everyone and im thinking now is that everybody is thinking about me.
  16. flirtylass you not got long to go than now you will have to let me know how you get on cant wait to hear only just over a week are you excited.

  18. hello just wanted ask for advice on what to pack to take with me do you need to take soup and shakes with you or will you not be able to stomach that so early also when your in the operation do you get to wear your knickers r do you have to be naked.
