    Well i got banded on the 12th May had to delay from the 21st April due to work........its been 5 days and and i now 14lbs lighter. Dont get me wrong its not been an easy 5 days...... after the op there was alot of pain and trapped gas....that hurt like hell.........its not getting a bit easier to get out of bed. i am struggling to drink the 2L of water a day, dont even think i have had 2L of water since i came back on Thursday. Going to London on Wednesday to visit a friend for a week......so we will see how that goes..... still after the discomfort and pain. i am still glad i had the op done......will just have to learn to live with the band!! x
