Hi there, I haven't had a c-section but I have had 10 other operation including hip surgery. You've no idea how reassuring this site is. I'm assuming compared to hip surgery and breast surgery (which I've also had) that the banding should be far less painful....and you guys have pretty much confirmed that. Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou!!! I get banded 08/15/08! Can't wait to start my new life. Currently on my pre op diet.....yuck!!!! Kez

Hi there, I'm on day 8 of my pre op diet. Have 3 meal replacement shakes, 2 pieces of low carb fruit and 2 cups of low carb vegies a day. I'm soooooo hungry by night time. Only 14 days to go. I've lost 5.5 kg (nearly 1 stone) in weight so that's pretty exciting. But I'm so over it. I can't wait to eat real food again. And it's hard with 3 kids and a hubby to cater for, although hubby has been doing a lot of their cooking as I'm so hungry at night I can't deal with it. Even feeding the baby her weetbix this morning I was tempted to have a teaspoon of it!!!LOL!!! Anyway, hang in there. Won't be long and we'll be banded and we won't have to face another meal replacement shake if we don't want to!!! Kez:thumbup:

Hi there, I am being banded in Australia on the 15th of August. I have to do a special diet of meal replacements for the 3 weeks prior to surgery so I have been on it for 5 days and have lost 4.5 kg. Not sure what that is in pounds. The primary reason for going on this diet is because it shrinks your liver to make surgery easier. It's slowly getting easier. The first few days I was so grumpy.....my poor hubby and kids. Anyway, now that the weight is coming off I'm not so grumpy as it is a great side effect!!! Can't wait to get banded and start my new life.....but I'm nervous as well. It's a pool of mixed emotion. Take care, Kez
